Promoting Equity and Accountability for Girls and Women's Health

Women’s Dignity seeks to enable all Tanzanians - particularly marginalized girls and women – to realize their basic right to health. We focus in particular on improving maternal health so women no longer fear death in childbirth, or consequences such as obstetric fistula.
We support citizens to demand their health rights and to hold government accountable for progress made. We work with policymakers, activists, and health professionals to strengthen services reaching women in poverty. And we share these many experiences through the media and formal policy channels so change can be monitored.

Our program areas include:

Research and policy analysis on health equity, maternal health and fistula in order to strengthen policies and practice;

Public debate and information so citizens can articulate their views on health rights and accountability, and contribute to broad public debate;

Strategic partnerships built to promote health rights, accountability, and maternal health including action on obstetric fistula.
