S3 Ep. 6: Teaser_ Innovating towards gender equality and land rights

--:--
Did you know that 70% of the food in Tanzania is produced by women in the agricultural sector?

90% of active women work in agriculture in Tanzania and yet very few of these women own the land they work on. Equal rights to land ownership only came into law in 2014 and unfortunately, there is still a big gap between legislation and reality.

She is an innovator and activist who is harnessing the power of technology amongst other things to bring education and land rights justice to Tanzanian women.
