Female Farmers in Tanzania Face Challenges Accessing Land
In a remote village on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, every woman has a story to tell about how discrimination in the allocation of land has pushed her to the brink of survival.
Agustina Tarimo has been battling for three years to access some land to sustain her livelihood but, since men have priority in accessing land, her efforts have been futile.
"It's hard to own even a small piece in this village if you are a woman," Tarimo told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
