Feature - Masai Women and Land Rights
Thomas Dworzak
Thomas Dworzak traveled to Tanzania to document the land-rights struggles of indigenous women, focusing on the women of Tanzania’s Maasai community, who are contending with threats from mining projects, tourism, and urbanization. The Maasai live in the northeast Arusha region, where they raise livestock on migratory routes, in a pastoral tradition now imperiled by aggressive development. The land laws in Tanzania allow the government to control all access to the land in the name of protecting the best interest of The Nation, and women have been most negatively affected in the struggle over land.
