Reactivation of the Ebonyi State Children Parliaments

Reactivation of the Ebonyi State Children Parliaments: As part of our activities on Safeguarding Children and catching them young, and building them to be conscious conscientious leaders of tomorrow, HRCRC thought about giving them a voice, and a platform to debate, and articulate their issues as it affects them directly in their local communities and environments. This led to the reactivation of the Ebonyi State Children Parliaments in collaboration with the Ebonyi State Ministry of Women and Affairs and Social Development. These parliaments sat and deliberated in the three senatorial zones of the state and came up with Resolutions in form of a communique which was read and presented to the press and the Local Government Leadership of their host.
Last Friday, HRCRC facilitated the leadership of all three parliaments to present the joint combined communique to key Government Officials such as the Speaker of the House of Assembly, the Chief Judge of Ebonyi State, the wife of the Governor, the Commissioner for Women Affairs, the GBV Taskforce, the CSO Network, the National Human Rights Commission, the Attorney General of the State, amongst others.

Conflict Early Warning and Response System (CEWARS) in Ebonyi State

Conflict Early Warning and Response System (CEWARS) in Ebonyi State: Keeping with our peace building mission with a focused emphasis on Conflict Prevention in Ebonyi State rather than responses, and continuing our establishment of Conflict Early Warning and Response System in Ebonyi State, We brought together the trained Early Warning Signs reporters to meet and interface with the Government Stakeholders and Security Agencies and Civil Society responsible for Response. While we continue to play the role of the intermediary for analysis and connection, it is our hope that this system established in the three pilot LGs of Ikwo, Ishielu, and Ohaukwu will be upscaled to all the Local Governments, communities, and zones.

Continuation of Prison Decongestion

Continuation of Prison Decongestion: For about 4 years, HRCRC has been representing and trying to secure the release of 36 inmates incarcerated in the Abakaliki Correctional Custodial Center (Prisons) unjustly. These inmates had been discharged by four different courts on four different occasions in the course of our interventions but their detention continued.
Gleefully, 12 of these inmates were discharged again yesterday and were released from detention. As we continue the fight to ensure the release of the others as well as other unjustly incarcerated inmates, we thank all through whose support, collaboration, and cooperation this was achieved.

We will now deepen our engagements with the 90 Schools and officers trained already from all over the state to institutionalize their learnings; and with other Government Education Authorities who have been very receptive and cooperative to the idea.

HRCRC 2025 1st Quarter Meeting

HRCRC 2025 1st Quarter Meeting: We held our 1st quarter General Meeting for 2025 having in attendance all HRCRC staff and branches/volunteers across the state.
One of the highlights of the meeting was the presentation of 2 Motorcycles to the Branches Coordinator, as well as the most consistent and active branch (Iboko) following our policies and procedures. This is to aid their work and interventions in the villages and communities. This was made possible through the support of our mother organization – St Patrick’s Missionary Society to whom we are most grateful.
It is our hope that through the support of benevolent benefactors, all our branches in the communities and villages will have motorcycles to aid their work.
