- Gender equality
- Women's and / or girls' rights
Type:Review DocumentationSession:25th session, May 2016Status:Reference AddressedContents:JS9 and JS11 stated that the inheritance regime violated women's fundamental rights to equality and ownership of property. The multiplicity of legal systems as to the administration of deceased's estate i.e. Statutory law, Customary law, Islamic law and Hindu law gave rise to a conflict of laws leading to the question of choice of law in relation to the distribution of assets from a deceased person's estate. JS9 and JS11 called for the enactment of a uniform and non-discriminatory law on succession; the repealing of all laws which discriminate and deny women's rights including customary laws; and the establishment of family courts.

Para 39) The State continued to implement its National Action Plan for Prevention and Eradication of Violence against Women and Children (2001-2015) as follows: A National Multi-Sectoral Committee to Prevent and Respond to Violence against Women and Children and Child protection teams established and the Tanzania Teachers' Code of Conduct and Professional Ethics of 1963 is under review to include specific measures on promotion of child rights and zero-tolerance for violence against children in schools. A child free help line was launched on 14th June, 2013 and one Stop Centers for child abuse victims were established.

Para 40) In Tanzania Zanzibar, Gender based violence (GBV) committees have been established at Village, Ward, District and National level with guidelines for prevention of GBV and there is a National GBV Register Board that records cases of violence against women and children. A call help line was established in 2015 with number 116 to report and receive assistance from incidences of violence and One Stop Centers have been established. Currently, VAC cases are highly reported due to availability of such services and a shelter house has been designated to accommodate survivors of GBV. Also, 417 Gender and Children Desks are in place in major Police Stations around the country which have developed and harmonized Standard Operating procedures(SOP). To that effect, 1,196 Police Officers have been trained on the SOP and their guidelines.
