Attention: Editors and Reporters
14 June 2023
The Eastern Cape Provincial Office will conduct a human rights champion workshop on 14 and 15 June 2023. 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 over a period of time, which increases levels of awareness through a multiplier effect.
The workshop will be held as follows:
Date: 14th and 15th June 2023
Venue: Hemmingways Hotel East London
Ends
