The British High Commission, in collaboration with the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA), recently organized a three-day Human Rights Workshop aimed at enhancing capacity-building efforts.
This initiative sought to empower civil society organizations, such as the GHRA, in advancing human rights work within Guyana.
The workshop facilitated vibrant discussions on various aspects of human rights, including the challenges encountered, best practices, and strategies to promote and safeguard human rights effectively.
British High Commissioner, Jane Miller, emphasized the global significance of addressing human rights abuses and highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts to address these issues comprehensively.
President of the GHRA, Mike McCormack, expressed gratitude for the longstanding contributions of human rights advocates in protecting vulnerable groups.
He acknowledged the invaluable support of the diplomatic community in advancing the cause of human rights within Guyana.
Funded under the UK’s Magna Carta fund, which is dedicated to supporting global human rights and democracy work, the workshop exemplified a commitment to strengthening human rights advocacy and protection initiatives worldwide.
