National Human Rights Commission Opens in Ebonyi.

HRCRC played host to staff of National Human Rights Commission Abakaliki led by state coordinator Chris Okorie on a courtesy / familiarization visit. NHRC in Abakaliki opened formally on Monday 18th February, 2019.

We are committed to ensuring that all hands are on deck to promote and enforce human rights in Ebonyi state.

Workshop with Ebonyi Youth and Union Leaders

Still on Peaceful Electioneering in Ebonyi State, it was the turn of Youth and Union Leaders from all over the state to gather for a workshop organised by HRCRC on Non Violent Approach and Grooming Youths for Peace and Nation Building. It is worthy of note that despite the inconvenience occasioned on the day, the youth leaders still chose the workshop over others. We are grateful for this foremost Commitment to peace and non violence. We are also grateful to Irish Aid and St Patrick’s Missionary Society for their Sponsorship.

Third Town Hall Meeting for Ebonyi North in Effiom, Ohaozarra LGA

Still on Peaceful Electioneering in Ebonyi State, HRCRC had her last Town Hall Meeting for Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone in Effiom, Ohaozara Local Government Area of the State. Present were delegates from all over the zone, and traditional leaders and chiefs, women leaders and youth leaders, and CAN. Again, they all concurred that electoral violence affected personally and therefore committed to both helping preach against all forms of violence before, during and after the elections in their respective units, communities and constituencies; while practically coming up with tailored modalities to check violence.
