The area of Thangata District in Mikongoni Country is home to 50,000 people. Fifty-two per cent of the population constitutes women. Roughly 10 per cent of the women in the district have some form of disability.
In 2011, an International NGO (INGO) called Harambe Care established its offices in the district after receiving a request from the District Commissioner as well as Thangata District Development Committee Chair. There were many issues that were raised in the request such as domestic violence, especially against women. For example, women who engaged in small-scale income-generating activities were a target by their husbands who demanded money from any sales the women made. In addition, there were also unsubstantiated claims of sexual abuse among women with disabilities. These issues affected initiatives aimed to uplift women’s livelihoods.
