A/HRC/19/4 and Government development strategies; promotion of democracy, good governance and rule of law; and consideration of ratification of human rights instruments. 9. The report also contained achievements, best practices, challenges and constraints in the promotion and protection of human rights. Government achievements included the establishment of the Government of National Unity of Zanzibar, a United Nations award for meeting the Millennium Development Goal on universal primary education nearly five years ahead of the 2015 deadline, and the granting of citizenship to 162,156 refugees from Burundi and 1,423 refugees from Somalia in June 2010. In August 2011, Tanzania became the first country in Africa to document and make public a report on violence against children. 10. The empowerment funds established by President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete of the United Republic of Tanzania and Dr. Aman Abeid Karume, former President of Zanzibar, had a very significant role in promoting small and medium entrepreneurs through the provision of soft loans. 11. Tanzania found itself constrained by several factors, relating to traditions, resources and calamities, both natural and manmade. Challenges included the killing of persons with albinism, female genital mutilation (FGM), maternal and child mortality and the quality of education. Key national priorities and initiatives included the finalization of the draft national action plan on human rights, constitutional reforms, prison reforms, improvement of the quality of education and provision of human rights education, particularly in the rural areas, and the recently introduced Green Revolution initiative, aimed at modernizing and commercializing the agricultural sector. 12. The Government had taken legal and administrative measures to mitigate violence and discrimination against women. Tanzanian laws stipulated that women and men in Tanzania had equal property rights, including the right to acquire, inherit, maintain and dispose of properties. The Penal Code criminalized various forms of gender-based violence, including rape, sexual assault and harassment and FGM, while the national and local policies provided important opportunities to address gender-based violence. The National Plan of Action for the Prevention and Eradication of Violence against Women, including FGM, was in place. Furthermore, the Government was working on a comprehensive legal aid legislation for the provision of legal aid. 13. With regard to violence and discrimination against persons with albinism, recently Tanzania had faced a spate of horrific attacks against persons with albinism perpetrated by groups of criminals purporting to profit from sinister beliefs in witchcraft. Tanzania took deliberate measures to reverse the trend through education, advocacy campaigns, and prosecutions attracting severe punishments. Tanzania would continue to sustain those efforts and appealed to its development partners to continue with their support. 14. Apart from the establishment of a national task force to deal with the problem, the Government had fast-tracked investigations and prosecutions of cases concerning the killings of persons with albinism. Consequently, out of 57 incidents that had been reported between 2007 and January 2011, a total of 14 suspects had been apprehended and charged with murder. Investigations were ongoing with respect to the remaining suspects. From January 2011 to date, there had not been any reported incident of violence against persons with albinism. 15. The National Disability Policy required the Government and stakeholders to provide a conducive environment for inclusive education that addressed the special needs of children with disabilities. In addition, the Government provided such children with medical services and continued to encourage stakeholders to support disadvantaged people, including those with albinism. Two persons with albinism were elected Members of Parliament during the 2010 general elections. 4
