Youth Forum under Attack! PDF Print E-mail
The Youth Forum, after identifying sport as a unifier of youths from different backgrounds, donated sports kits and balls in various districts that are meant to be used by the youths from these districts in coming together and discussing issues that affect them regardless of political affiliations and encourage each other to register as voters and vote for candidates that work for the improvement of the youth situation in the country. Despite these minor setbacks, the program has gone on well with reports that youths from the districts receiving the kits are congregating and using the kits effectively every week. Full Statement

Women in general and rural women in particular, have always been marginalised and do not enjoy the fundamental rights, freedom and dignity that are their birth right and that will guarantee their well-being. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the country’s rural areas. Whilst women and girls in rural areas perform most of the valuable but unpaid agricultural work, it is disheartening to note that they own an insignificant fraction of the arable land they work on. Youth Forum Statement

Women are also the main survivors of violence in domestic and public spheres. Violence targeted at women include incest, rape, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation etc. there is therefore an urgent and ever increasing need for more interventions to improve the status of women and young girls. While we celebrate the advances we make in improving the rights status of women, we must also pay attention to their sexual and reproductive health needs. Women's Rights and Health Project Statement

Le RENADHOC saisi cette occasion pour réaffirmer le rôle combien prépondérant que jouent les ONG Congolaises des Droits de l’Homme pour l’avènement d’un Etat de Droit et la consolidation de la démocratie en République Démocratique du Congo. Complet Document
 
Arrestation du défenseur des droits de l'homme et médecin, Dr Wenceslao Alo Mansogo, Secrétaire des droits de l'homme et des libertés civiles de la Convergence pour la démocratie sociale en Guinée équatoriale PDF Print E-mail

Le Réseau des défenseurs des Droits Humains en Afrique centrale (REDHAC) est profondément préoccupé par l’arrestation et la détention arbitraire   du Dr Wenceslao Alo Mansogo, Secrétaire des droits de l'homme et des libertés civiles de la Convergence pour la démocratie sociale en Guinée équatoriale, arrêté le 17 Février 2012.

Le juge en charge du "cas du docteur Wenceslao Mansogo" l'a placé en détention provisoire en début de soirée  du vendredi 17 Février 2012  donnant suite aux instructions qu'il avait reçu et en attente de plus amples instructions. La soumission totale  du juge à "l'autorité" qui décide du sort de Wenceslao a ignoré les conclusions du "rapport Salomon" publié juste après, tout comme il avait déjà ignoré le rapport (rapport facultatif) sur l'autopsie rédigé à l'hôpital de Bata et antérieur à la détention et la comparution devant lui du responsable d'opposition.

CSO’S JOINT PRESS STATEMENT ON THE PURPORTED BAN OF NGO’S IN MASVINGO PDF Print E-mail

We note with concern the blatantly illegal actions of Masvingo Provincial Governor, Titus Maluleke in purporting to ban some Non Governmental Organisations (NGO’s) operating in Masvingo. On 14 February 2012, at a press conference convened in Masvingo, Governor Maluleke ordered the suspension of the activities of 29 NGOs for allegedly failing to register their operations with his office. The Governor’s actions were illegal and are a nullity at law.

The law in this country clearly shows that he has no regulatory authority; nor does he have the power to register or de-register NGOs. Even the Provincial Council that he heads in terms of the Provincial Councils and Administration Act does not have regulatory powers over NGOs. The council exists solely to foster developmental projects initiated and carried out by central government and local government. Full Statement
