GlobalRights is a non-profit organization that challenges injustice and amplifies
the voices of grassroots activists to promote, protect, and fulfill human
rights. Hand in hand and side by side working with individuals and groups to:
- At the community level, build
knowledge, skill and advocacy expertise for those with the greatest
vulnerability and need for parity of opportunity for all
- Gain access to resources and
decision making bodies
- Become participants in
democratic life through an on-going continuum of education, skill
development and feeling of vested interest to create social change.
On the 26th
of March, 2018, the organization held an all day intense Media Awareness
Training Workshop on Business and Human Rights Reporting after carefully selecting
online and conventional media practitioners within Nigeria who are passionate
about promoting the universal principles of human rights.
Article 12
of the Code of Ethics for Nigerian journalists commits media professionals to
demonstrate “social responsibility” and requires that: “A journalist should
promote universal principles of human rights, democracy, justice, equity, peace
and international understanding”
At the end of the training, certificates were awarded to those who participated in the training by Global Rights Nigeria Country Director - Mrs Abiodun Baiyewu
