The programme of human
rights monitoring commenced on the 1st September 2005 with the aim
of building the capacity of NGOs dealing with human rights issues in
Lesotho, promoting and protecting human rights issues in Lesotho.
Since this is a pilot project, it only focuses on promoting and
protecting the rights of the following groups;
- Workers rights
- Rights of police
detainees
Prisoners rights
Police detainees
Rights of people on probation
The main goal is to
create a civil society which respects, protects and promotes human
rights in Lesotho.
This will be done through working with the relevant government
departments on the subjects, striving for common goals and
objectives since one the main mandate of NGOs is to compliment
government programmes. |
