Africa loses 95$ billion per year due to Gender inequality,
By Jamii Voice Media Reporter
"The 2016 Africa
Human Development report states that Africa loses 95$ billion per year due to
Gender inequality, "TGNP Executive Director, Lilian Liundi. She drew
attention that major efforts have been conducted by the councils and district
councils including boarding Schools for girls, sanitary napkins provision and
maternity care improvement. These are major steps to a journey of a thousand
miles since women and marginalised groups are disproportionately represented in
the national budget. It is imperative that all budgets reflect the advances of
Gender Responsive Budgeting.
Women and marginalised
groups have been on the sidelines over the years but the 6th regime has been
working to make this a story of the past. This involved Tanzania becoming a
partner of Generation Equality Forum and the new decree of the Gender Based
Violence agenda to be included in all council and district council meetings.
The session brought to
attention that Gender Mainstreaming and GRB is the propeller to development in
the nation.
