Dar es Salaam. The chief executive officer for Bank M Tanzania, Ms Jacqueline Woiso has challenged privileged women to support their disadvantaged counterparts and uplift them economically.

Speaking during an event to mark the International Women’s Day in Dar es Salaam on March 8, Ms Woiso said female bosses should also think about empowering their disadvantaged counterparts on a personal basis.
