Save the Dream Initiative is staffed with seasoned lawyers, paralegal officers and other support staff with requisite expertise in adjudication, policy advocacy, soliciting, capacity building and passion for the protection and intervention in all issues of human rights violation, irrespective of culture, creed, status, race, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.
In a bid to ensure that members of the community know and appreciate their rights and how to defend them; we organize interactive sessions which shall be captioned “Knowing Your Rights” with captivating themes which shall feature talk shows, sing-songs, Seeing of movies that have human rights violations in them ask them to identify the rights violated and why it is their thought that right/s have been violated, give hypothetical scenario for discuss amongst others to help monitor how well they have come to terms with these rights as well as appreciate when they are violating the rights of others.
To further reinforce this, we provide handy IEC materials to which they can always resort to as a guide.
