Roles, livelihoods, and the safety of women in Tanzania have improved significantly since the 20th century, made evident by the seating of Samia Suluhu Hassan – their first female president. Though throwbacks to a once strongly patriarchal society remain (particularly in regard to certain marital laws that favour Islamic and Christian traditions), modernised locals – like Dar es Salaam and Arusha – tell a story of upward mobility. Long-term visitors, from more liberal territories, will notice a surprising number of female business owners, middle managers and even security guards. Relatively high rates of gendered violence,[3] as well as barriers to full legal rights and education, leave a lot of room for improvement but it can no longer be said that these issues characterise the average woman's experience in Tanzania.[4][5][6][7]
