Zaina Foundation in Actions…….
- Digital Safety Training to Women Journalists
We continued with our initiative on awareness building on rights to privacy among at risk communities in Tanzania including Women journalists, young activists and at risk minority communities in Tanzania we reached regions including Kigoma, Arusha, Mtwara and Morogoro. In this quarter Tanzania joined other countries in Africa to put pressure and fear to at risk communities especially in online spaces. Surveillance and Censorship increased among this community. Majority of them still lack skills on digital safety which expose them to high risk of minority life. More effort is needed in this community https://zainafoundationtz.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/ZF-June-Newsletter.pdf
