The Tanzania Human Rights Defenders Coalition (THRDC) would like
to *congratulate the Coordinator of Crisis Resolving Centre (CRC), Gladness
Munuo*, *for winning the #VoiceandChoice Sexual and Reproductive Health and
Rights (SRHR) Awards under the Drivers of Change category*, issued on 26th
July, 2019 at New Africa Hotel by the host organizer, Tanzania Gender
Networking Programme (TGNP-Mtandao ).
The #VoiceandChange awards are issued every year by Regional
NGOs based in Johannesburg, South Africa, this year being the Gender Links for
Equality and Justice, SADC Protocol Work summit and SADC Gender Protocol
Alliance, to Journalists and human rights defenders in other categories that
work towards national development.
In issuing the award, various criteria are considered such
as the implementation of SADC gender and development protocol.
Gladness Munuo has been recognized for her work as a legal aid
counselor who works with the community, journalists and women in the political
arena in promoting Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights.
In her application she presented her work in volunteering to
combat Gender Based Violation which her organization, Crisis Resolving Centre
(CRC), has the One Stop Centre method that ensures that all services in the
matter are available at one place.
THRDC takes this opportunity to encourage all Human Rights
Defenders in Tanzania to view this award as a motivation and encouragement in
continuing to defend human rights despite the numerous challenges faced. This
is because *defending human rights has never been a crime since time in
memorial*. THRDC will continue to be a strong and frontier organization to
defend and ensure secure environment for HRDs in Tanzania.
