Media Alert: SAHRC Eastern Cape Office will be conducting a Human Rights Champion Workshop

Attention: Editors and Reporters

26 September 2022

The Eastern Cape provincial office will conduct a human rights champion workshop on Monday, 26 September 2022. The identified human rights champions will be empowered on the mandate of the South African Human Rights Commission and how to be champions for human rights.


The role of the champions is to assist the South African Human Rights Commission (Commission) in the execution of its mandate, by strengthening real time access to communities by providing access to justice and to 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 workshop will be held as follows:
Date: 26th of September 2022
Time:  12H30 – 16H30
Venue: Microsoft Teams
