Team-
This November, we joined our Tanzanian partner, Legal and Human Rights
Centre, to argue before the African Committee of Experts on the Rights
and Welfare of the Child on behalf of six Tanzanian girls who were
expelled from school for being pregnant.
For years, the Tanzanian government has forced public school girls to
undergo pregnancy testing and has permanently expelled them if
pregnant, denying girls the opportunity to complete their formal
education.
But on November 25, Tanzania's Minister of Education announced the
country would end the oppressive and grossly discriminatory practice
of barring pregnant girls and adolescent mothers from school.
This is an important first step, but we will continue to pursue our
case until this change is lasting and permanent.

Education is the most direct pathway to a better life for girls living
in poverty. But for years, the Tanzanian government has failed to meet
international human rights standards, denying girls the opportunity to
complete their education and pursue their personal and professional
goals.

With your support, we will remain vigilant to ensure the government
makes good on its promise to end this discriminatory practice.
Give now to make FOUR TIMES the impact in our work fighting so
that no one has to endure this type of treatment again.
