A cross-section of contributors shares and cover human rights issues related to policy, advocacy, practice, and awareness. The insights shared unveil a wide spectrum where human rights principles and theories interface with lived realities of people and communities in Africa.

These include research projects such as “Intractable Human Rights Issues” or debate series (e.g. “Everyone’s human rights”).
