Three years on, millions of Sudanese families are still living with the consequences of conflict.

The crisis has not ended. Neither has the need for support.

In the chaos of conflicts, innocent children often pay the highest price.

It's time to build a world where every child can grow and thrive in peace.

Let's unite to protect children from violence, abuse and exploitation.

Dr. Anna Henga Emphasizes Collaboration in Tanzania’s UPR Process

The Executive Director of LHRC), Dr. Anna Henga, stresses that collaboration between the government and various stakeholders is crucial to ensure that the process of reviewing human rights in the country, through the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), delivers positive results in strengthening the protection and implementation of human rights.

Dr. Henga makes these remarks in her opening address to the guest of honor, Commissioner Neema Mwanga, a Director from the Ministry of Constitution and Legal Affairs representing the Minister of Constitution and Legal Affairs, Dr. Juma Zuberi Homera, during the stakeholder meeting to review the draft Joint Stakeholders’ Report for Tanzania’s fourth UPR cycle, taking place in Morogoro.

She explains that human rights stakeholders in the country have continued to participate fully in the UPR process since the stakeholders’ report of the third cycle was submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2021. Dr. Henga emphasizes that this experience has laid a solid foundation for stakeholders to continue participating in the preparation of the fourth cycle report, with a focus on reviewing the implementation of recommendations previously accepted by the United Republic of Tanzania.

Furthermore, Dr. Henga acknowledges the significant contribution of the Ministry of Constitution and Legal Affairs in facilitating the UPR process in the country, noting that this collaboration has enabled various stakeholders to participate fully in report preparation and to monitor the implementation of recommendations from previous cycles.

She adds that today’s stakeholder meeting is particularly important as it provides participants with an opportunity to collectively review the draft stakeholders’ report, provide feedback, and offer recommendations that will help improve it before its formal submission to the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Dr. Henga also highlights that contributions from stakeholders from both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar are crucial to ensure the report accurately reflects the state of human rights implementation in the country, as well as challenges that require further action to strengthen human rights protection systems.

We honour the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson, a steadfast voice for justice whose advocacy extended far beyond borders.

Rev. Jackson stood with #Africa in moments of struggle and transformation. Supporting liberation movements, opposing apartheid, and strengthening ties between the continent and its diaspora. He believed deeply in #PanAfrican solidarity and the shared destiny of people of #Africandescent worldwide.

His legacy lives on in the enduring bond between Africa and its diaspora, and in the continued pursuit of dignity, equality, and justice.
