Abstract: Participatory narrative inquiry (PNI) was used to a group of six young women to create a space to recount their lived experiences. This was import given that women in some societies in Tanzania are socialized to accept a lesser status than their counterparts in exchange for protection and privilege, forming a relationship that is likened to paternalistic dominance. Regrettably, such gendered relations dominate and diminish women’s opportunities for self-actualization and wellbeing. At the end, a call is made to effectively challenge and dismantle a system that controls and dominates women and nature.
