Great things in business are never done one Person. They're done by a team of people.
A better society where all can find support and encouragement to work hard, live in dignity and feel proud to belong is a society where every person’s right is respected.
To achieve such a society, we implement the following initiatives to promote, protect and defend the rights ofeach and every member of the society.
The aim of our human rights education is to empower citizens with the knowledge to promote, defend and protect human rights.
We teach citizens:
- Their human rights as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
- Their Fundamental Human Rights as enshrined in the constitution.
- How to promote and protect human rights and,
- How to prevent, defend and fight abuse of human rights.
How We Educate Citizens on Human Rights
- Mass Media – We publish weekly educative articles and videos in the “Know Your Right” section of C-Advocate newspaper and C-Advocate Television.
- Virtual Information Sessions – We hold monthly “Ask a Lawyer” virtual information session – facilitated by a member of C-Advocate Pro Bono Lawyers – to answer any questions that citizens may have on human rights
- Community Outreaches and Awareness – We train Human Rights Anchors to sensitize communities on what constitutes human rights, how to prevent human rights abuse and how to report abuse.
- Leaders Conference: We organize conferences for leaders and aspiring leaders to learn more about human rights and how to uphold them.
- Students Learning Modules: We develop and administer human rights learning modules for primary, secondary and university level students.
- Workshops, Seminars and Bootcamps: We organize workshops, seminars and bootcamps for youth and women groups, churches and communities, etc, to address specific human rights issues.
The overarching goal of our human rights media advocacy is to put pressure on those responsible for upholding human rights to take action. Our “Know Your Right “newspaper and television programs also track human rights violations, expose them and call on those responsible for upholding such rights to take action. The programs relie on eyewitness stories and leads from victims and Human Rights Anchors to build up credible stories. Through media campaigns and investigative reporting, we prevent and fight abuse of human rights while promoting respect for human rights. Follow our media advocacy at:

Human rights policy advocacy is a priority to us because good human rights policies and laws make respect for human rights possible. Our advocacy team push for policy changes, laws and orders – at state, national and international levels – that support respect for human rights and discourage abuse of human rights.
We design projects to tackle specific human rights issues in the community, state or nation.
