Wezesha

WEZESHA is a national Lesbian, Gay, bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) organization: advancing equality, diversity, education and justice. WEZESHA works for the protection and promotion of LGBT rights in Tanzania at all levels of government to advance full social and legal equality on behalf of the approximately 2 million lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in Tanzania. Amendment of the penal code section 154 – 157, health systems, and workplace equality are many of the issues WEZESHA is currently working on at the national level At WEZESHA, we believe that people are fair, and when they see LGBT people, when they hear our stories, they will come to understand that this is about people just like them – their brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends – who deserve to be accepted, respected, and valued. WEZESHA will continue to bring this message to Tanzanians, in one newspaper article, one TV character, one story at a time
