competition for youth around the country.
Featuring drawing, painting, photography
and essays, the competition aimed to
encourage young people to explore human
rights concepts through art, sensitizing them
to rights issues and identifying ways in which
they can become more actively involved in
their protection. More than 100 workshop
participants learned about the NHRC and
human rights concepts, particularly those
affecting youth. This outreach has led to the
development of a network with various
stakeholders focused on engaging youth in
human rights promotion efforts.
2
Human rights promotional
materials disseminated

The Commission produced a wide variety of
informational materials to expand knowledge

and to enhance the profile and presence of
the NHRC throughout the country.
Promotional materials include pamphlets
presenting basic facts about the NHRC, a
plain-language leaflet explaining how to file a
complaint with the NHRC, fact sheets about
the project and work of the NHRC, and a
series of newspaper articles and editorials on
human rights themes (women’s rights, the
