Inside a bright pink Bajaji on a sunny day in Dar es Salaam, Australia’s outgoing High Commissioner to Tanzania, Jenny Da Rin, reflected on three years that she says have deepened an already strong bilateral relationship and opened new opportunities across mining, agriculture, trade and community development.
The setting was symbolic. The pink Bajaji, supported by Australia through a partnership with Our Voices Against Harassment, has become one of the most visible examples of women’s economic empowerment with efforts to improve safety in public spaces.
