and exchange ideas on the subjected
matter which was Art and Human
Rights.
The actors included Government
officials, Ambassadors from various
Embassies include the Embassy of
Netherland in Tanzania and repre-

Internal and Local NGOs and artists-
Human Right Defenders from Tan-

SISEMA and WILDAF shared

really aware of the situation as many

on other sectors/ groups.
The presentation showed the overall
statistics of these two groups-
children and women and the chal-
lenges they face in relation to their
