This a new organisation that has just been set up. our mission is to empower the citizenry to exercise their human rights and to hold the duty bearers to account. We intend to do this through advocacy and civic education among other things . We also intend to take up class actions to help in the enforcement of rights. Our area of work will be all encompassing and we will not just focus on  specific rights but we intend to focus on  all human rights both as assured by national and international law. ie the right to life, the right with sexual and reproductive health, access to justice, access to information, prohibition against discrimination etc. Further we intend to be a hub of research .
