Africa

Collaborating with partners in Africa, we are actively involved in strategic litigation, capacity building and advocacy to foster a thriving civic space as a key enabler of democracy and the rule of law. By directly using and supporting greater effectiveness of human rights mechanisms at regional and sub-regional levels, we contribute to access to justice and facilitate accountability for human rights violations. From supporting the Twitter Ban case in Nigeria, to advancing protection for peaceful protests in Zimbabwe and securing positive decisions in cases of arbitrary detention in Rwanda, Somalia and Egypt, we are committed to standing alongside all stakeholders as we work towards equity, inclusion, and justice in Africa.
