Manage episode 312003053 series 3212095
The Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and Human Rights (BONELA) with the support of the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission (FELM) is implementing a project titled “Promotion, Protection and Fulfillment of Health rights of People with Disabilities in Botswana”. The project objectives include among others;
Using a rights based framework to identify gaps and barriers that hinder the enjoyment of the right to health of People With Disabilities (PWDs) in Botswana and conducting human rights civic education and awareness in order to create an increased access to available social, health and legal services for PWDs.
To achieve these objectives, BONELA has been conducting participatory community dialogues and campaigns in three major districts (Gaborone, Palapye and Francistown) to facilitate advocacy initiatives on matters such as Social rights, GBV, Stigma and discrimination and other issues dealing with PWD.
In furtherance of the above, BONELA conducted a 15 minute interview on RB2 talking about the community dialogues that have been happening in the Francistown District with PWDs dealing with the issues mentioned above.
