SYNOPSIS • Kwa miaka mingi nchini Tanzania kumekuwa na tatizo la ajira kwa vijana wakiwemo wasichana, hivyo wengi wameona kusafirishwa kutoka vijini na kwenda kufanya kazi za ndani mijini ni farari kwao na kutawasaidia kujikwamua na wimbi la umaskini wazazi wao kwenye familia zao. • Kutokana na kukithiri kwa umasikini kwa baadhi ya familia hasa maeneo ya Vijijini, wasichana wengi wamekuwa wakichukuliwa kulaghaiwa na kusafirishwa huku wakinyonywa maslahi yao. • Wanapofika maeneo ya mijini ikiwemo, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar na nje ya nchi ikiwemo Oman, Saudia na kadhalika wanakuna yale matumaini yao hayapo na badala yake wanaambulia mateso makubwa kuliko vile ambavyo waliahidiwa. • Hii ni habari muhimu katika masuala ya Gender na yenye kugusa masuala ya wanawake kwa sababu wanasichana wengi wanaotumikishwa kazi za majumbani ni wawale wadogo ambao wanastahili kuwa shuleni.

BACKGROUND • Nimemua kuandika habari hii kutokana na kukithiri kwa biasharamu ya usafirishaji wasichana na wanawake kutoka vijijini kwenda mijini pamoja na mateso makali yanayowapata wasichana wanaofanya kazi za majumbani. • Biaashara hii haramu imewaathiri wasichana wengi, ambao wanastahili kuwa shuleni kuendelea na masomo, kwani wengi ni wale wenye umri wa miaka 12 hadi 17 wanaotumikishwa kazi za ndani, mashambani na kwenye migodi.

TARGET AUDIENCE • Walengwa wakuu ni Viongozi na watendaji wa serikali kusudi waone halisi ilivyo na waweze kuchukua hatua. • Lakini pia watu wanaojifanya ni mawakala wenye kwenda kuwachukua na kuwasafirishaji wasichana hao kutoka vijijini ili waache jambo hilo.

PROCESS/METHODOLOGY • Habari hii nimeifanya kwa njia ya uchunguzi (Observations) na mahojiano maalm ya ana kwa ana na wahusika wakiwemo viongozi wa Serikali. • Wanawake waliozungumza ni 9 na wanaume ni 7. na Sauti zao ni muhimu kwa sababu zitasaidia kupaza sauti zaidi na kuifanya serikali ichukue hatua dhidi ya tatizo hilo dhidi ya wasichana na wanawake.

FOLLOW UP • Kuna haja ya kufanya marejeo ya habari hii, kwani Serikali imesema itaanza kutekeleza mpango wa kutembelea nyumba kwa ajili ya kuangalia watu waliowaajiri wasichana waliosafirishwa kutoka mikoani kwa kudanganywa au kulaghaiwa, ili kuona kama mpango huo umekomeshwa au bado.
