The role of Champions is to assist the SAHRC in the execution of its mandate, by strengthening real time access to communities and access to justice; and serve as a link between the Commission and communities. In addition, the development of local Champions empowers vulnerable communities to access and realise their human rights; and to deepen an understanding of human rights, as over a period of time, levels of awareness increase through a multiplier effect.
The equality toolkit will be rolled out, to educate the Champions on the role of the equality court and the right to equality.
Various monitoring of schools, places of older persons, persons living with disabilities detention centres and vaccination sites will be conducted.
The provincial activities will take place as follows:
