Lesotho Council of NGOs (LCN)
will hold a one day workshop to verify the findings
gathered during the Rights of Youth and Gender Equality in
Governance on the 11th October, 2006 at the Victoria Hotel in
Maseru.
The objective is to share with different stakeholders the findings
which are in a form of a report on the Rights of Youth and Gender
Equality in Governance in Lesotho as well as to verify the contents
of the report.
The expected outcome of the workshop is to have a report that
reflects all the views of the stakeholders.
Meanwhile, a report on the workers rights in the textile industry in
Lesotho and its findings was verified earlier this year with
different stakeholders invited to verify the contents of the report.
Verification of the following reports will soon follow in the form
of workshops;
1. Detained persons report
2. The disabled report
The workshop is organized by the Human Rights programme within the
LCN which is aimed at monitoring, identifying and addressing
violations in various government institutions in a view to enhance
democratic rule in Lesotho. The programme comprises of training,
monitoring, documenting, educating and reporting of human rights
violations.
The programme commenced in September 2005 and it is expected that by
the end of the programme human rights situation analysis report
would be published for distribution in the country, human rights
organisations throughout the world, African Union (AU) Human Rights
Commission and United Nations Human Rights Commission.
It is also expected that the different reports would set a baseline
for advocacy strategies on human rights issues in Lesotho.
