AHADI is advancing gender equality by contributing to the increased realization of the sexual and reproductive health and rights, well-being and dignity of marginalized girls (aged 10-24 years) in urban municipalities of Tanzania. AHADI provides a safe space for adolescent and youth girls and boys to unpack harmful, restrictive constructs of masculinity and femininity. (Photo credit: Paul Bettings / World Vision Canada)
