We are an ethics-driven African institution advancing discourses on reparatory justice, human rights and democracy.
Today is #DemocracyDay.
Democracy thrives on people’s voices, choices & participation — but faces disinformation, shrinking civic space & inequalities.
“From Voice to Action” is a call to protect rights, build trust & reimagine democracy that works for all.
