There have been a lot of events in relation to the violations of human rights recently. The question is. Do South Africa citizens know they rights? On 1960 the police killed people at Sharp Ville who were participating in a protest against the past law. This people died fighting for the rights that we have today. It is surprising that after 10 years of democracy, there are people whose rights are still being violated.
Human rights day is a day that is about educating all South Africans about their rights and obligations, to make all citizens aware of their rights. Thandi Modise was at Groot Marico near Zeerust she addressed 1000 people about human rights day issues that ranged from service delivery to human rights violations, especially on farms and domestic workers as they are facing a lot of eviction and violation to their rights as this people did not know there rights.
There are a lot of campaigns that are involved in helping people to be aware of their human rights such as campaign such as the 16 days of activism for women and children campaign is there to help people to. for more infor
v To help people to be able to speak out.
v It also helps people from the donations they receive from the nation.
v Seek to help if you are emotionally and physically abused
v Seek to help people who have been sexually abused
v Help children who have been abused.
Let us work together as a nation to generate an increase level of awareness amongst South Africans compaigns that are the to help people whose rigths are beign violated. Let us work together to encourage people to be active in such campaigns that will help and protect their rights from being violated.
we as a nation should first educate the future leaders of our country which are the youth about human rights day and what actually happened on the 21st of march 1960 for us to be able to increase awareness amongst SA companies that are to help whose rights a violated
ReplyDeleteyes I agree with you Nyikoh the younth should be the first people who needs to be educated about human right, because to them human rights day its just an ordinary day.
DeleteHuman rights must be considered because of what happend in 1960.Innocent people lost their lives after being shot by the police.As a nation it is advisable for everybody to know their rights not to be violated by others.Our future generations must be educated about human rights.
ReplyDeleteI agree i with you marvee there should be more compaigns that are educating young people about the human rights. The problem is that the younth seems not to be interested in this compaigns.
DeleteThe question is do you know your rights and will you be able to stand up for yourselves using your rights.
ReplyDeletelast year i hosted an event in celebration of the 16 days of activism aganist woman and children abuse and people didnot attend because they didnot see the importance of the event
ReplyDeleteAs South Africans i think that we know our rights but we are afraid to stand our ground in fighting for them when they are being violated, especially the way that farm workers are being treated.I think that word of mouth can help us South Africans to understand the value of our rights.farm workers need to be educated about the value of their rights and not to allow anyone to violate them.
ReplyDeleteit is not everyone that knows their rights, and even those who know them do not know on what or to whom they should report to in terms of their rights being abused.people still need a lot of education on their rights and responsibilities and the places they should go to when seeking for help especially people in rural areas.let us not let the people who fought for these rights down infact let us make them proud of their hard work.
