The ‘Chaguo Langu Haki Yangu - My Rights My Choices: Protecting the Rights and Choices of Women and Girls, particularly Women and Girls with Disabilities in Tanzania’ Programme (hereinafter the Programme) is a three-and-a-half-year programme (2021-2025) implemented by UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, funded by the Government of Finland. 

The programme goal is to ensure that the rights and choices of women and girls, particularly women and girls with disabilities, are protected and enhanced through a multi-sectoral and holistic approach that tackles gender-based violence (GBV) and harmful practices including early, forced and child marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM). The programme is implemented in Mainland and Zanzibar in four regions and six districts within those regions, including Mara (Butiama and Tarime districts), Shinyanga (Kishapu and Kahama districts), Urban/West Unguja (Urban district) and South Pemba (Chake Chake district). In Zanzibar, the programme is implemented together with several implementing partners including the Ministry of Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children, C-Sema, Help Age International (HAI), and Tanzania Interfaith Partnership (TIP).
