    Media Alert: SAHRC in Eastern Cape will be conducting a human rights champion workshop

    Attention: Editors and Reporters

    24 August 2023

    The SAHRC Eastern Cape Provincial Office will conduct a human rights champion workshop on 24 and 25 August 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, as over a period, levels of awareness increase through a multiplier effect.

    The workshop will be held as follows:
    Date: 24th of August 2023                              and           Date: 25th of August 2023
