Currently Tanzania is reviewing its constitution ,so there  is  an opportunity for the  Tanzania,s  to
Warembo Forum member contributing to the sessions
 
add their inputs for the coming new constitution .Following this process Women Fund Tanzania  managed to host the convening on women,s rights issues and constitutionalism  which  held in Dar es salaam for 3 days from 22nd  October to 24th October 2012  and invited participants from 19 regions..The meeting was successful and the way forward was planned ,but the very surprising thing was that ,99.9% of the participants was not ready to discuss the marginalized  women issues i.e Lesbian ,bi sexual transgender ,intersex and female sex workers .It seems the mentioned group is not part of women During the group discussion we introduced the issues of that group where as some of them did not want to contribute on the issue while others advices the issues of LBTI women and sex workers to be includes in the disabled women issues. In real sense the LBTI women faces a lot of  challenges being women and marginalized at the same time.This shows women discriminates others and also there is classes amongst .So we still have the work to do so that the people to understand the sexual identity and orientations.
