Human Rights Project
Tanzania’s Human Rights Project is located in the town of Arusha. The attention of this program is directed towards helping female victims of discrimination in their reclaiming of personal property as well as fighting for inheritance rights. The project visits widows nationally around Tanzania specifically Arusha in order to understand the human rights issues they encounter. Also, through microfinancing, this project aids widows providing them with an income. They provide the widows with legal assistance, therefore helping to defend their legal rights. “The project never stops developing and growing, so new issues arise on a regular basis and new strategies are constantly being put in place in order to overcome these issues and help those who are most in need”.

Famous quotes containing the words human, rights and/or project:
“Mathematics alone make us feel the limits of our intelligence. For we can always suppose in the case of an experiment that it is inexplicable because we don’t happen to have all the data. In mathematics we have all the data ... and yet we don’t understand. We always come back to the contemplation of our human wretchedness. What force is in relation to our will, the impenetrable opacity of mathematics is in relation to our intelligence.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“She, too, would now swim down the river of matrimony with a beautiful name, and a handle to it, as the owner of a fine family property. Women’s rights was an excellent doctrine to preach, but for practice could not stand the strain of such temptation.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“Although I mean it, and project the meaning
As hard as I can into its brushed-metal surface,
It cannot, in this deteriorating climate, pick up
Where I leave off.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
