Media Advisory: The South African Human Rights Commission Gauteng Provincial Office in collaboration with Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr Inc to Celebrate Human Rights Day at Ikaneng Primary School

17 March 2023

Attention: Editors and Reporters

To commemorate and celebrate Human Rights Day, the Gauteng Provincial Office of the South African Human Rights Commission and Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr Inc will host a Human Rights Day Celebration with Ikaneng Primary School. The school's learners were given the task to “Design a Human Rights Logo” based on their understanding of human rights and the responsibilities accompanying them.

The Design a Human Rights Logo initiative celebrates human rights month by creating human rights awareness at the primary school level and serves as an edutainment tool that gets young people to actively participate in the creation of a positive human rights culture. By involving young people in reimagining and redesigning how human rights should look, we hope to inspire them to be part of communities, organizations, and institutions that uphold the rights of all who live in South Africa. The winner of the competition will be announced during today’s proceedings.

The details of the Human Rights Day celebration are as follows:

Date:17 March 2023

Time: 11:00-12:00

Venue: Ikaneng Primary School
