One of the important aspects of women in leadership development program carried out by HakiMadini is to facilitate women in mining areas to self organize so that they claim their rights, influence the political agenda and advance their livelihood. Formation of women organization as a safe space for discussion, prioritizing women agendas, seek support and advance their collective voice is a step towards advocating for the equality in extractive sector.
Two community based organizations in Mererani and Singida were founded as a result of women in mining leadership development. Women saw the need to come together in a platform where they could share their success and challenges and engage others in the struggle towards equality in the extractive sector.
