The Human Rights Roadshows are an opportunity for the Commission to directly interact with the communities and to increase the Commission’s visibility, as well as promote its mandate. The roadshows will be at entry points of each of the towns identified. The roadshows will be conducted at clinics and will take the form of campaigns. Information and promotional material will be disseminated. Short presentations will also be made to passers-by and posters will be posted on the streets, notice boards, and police cells.

The Commission together with institutions supporting democracy, statutory bodies and government departments, will engage with the community members to raise awareness on the role of the law, role of the Commission and provide general legal advice.
