GLOSPOTLIGHT 👩‍⚖️👨‍⚖️ _Thursday Feature: MSU Law Students_ In 2024, Midlands State University made history on the continent. The MSU Law team of Watson Tonderai Somerai and Michelle Patricia Chiwanga, coached by Claudios Makwara, won the 33rd Christof Heyns African Human Rights Moot Court Competition in Kigali, Rwanda. It was the first time a Zimbabwean university took the title. The competition tests students on human rights law, advocacy, and legal argument against universities from across Africa. MSU’s win showed the strength of Zimbabwean legal training and put the university’s students on the continental map. Even though this happened in 2024, it’s still worth spotlighting. Wins like this inspire the next batch of law students and prove that Zimbabwean talent can compete and win at the highest level. Congratulations to Watson, Michelle, and Coach Makwara for raising Zimbabwe’s flag high. GLOSPOTLIGHT #GloMedia #GloSpotlight #MSU #AfricanHumanRightsMootCourt #HumanRights #ZimbabweLaw

The Sunrise Campaign, in partnership with the Knysna Social Development Section, successfully hosted a Human Rights Awareness Campaign at Hornlee Community Hall, bringing together government departments, civil society organisations, law enforcement, entrepreneurs, and community members. The event provided valuable information on human rights, disability inclusion, victim empowerment, and support services available to community members. Participants were inspired by powerful testimonies from Sunrise Campaign beneficiaries. A special thank you to all stakeholders who contributed to the success of the campaign, SEDFA, Parliament Public Education, SAPS, Blue Ribbon Bakery, KAPPD, and the Knysna Social Development Section. Together, we are building informed, resilient, and empowered communities where dignity, equality, and opportunity are accessible to all. #SunriseCampaign #HumanRightsAwareness #GenderLinks #CommunityEmpowerment #HumanRights #EconomicInclusion #DisabilityInclusion #VictimEmpowerment

A strong message of equality from Mauritius. Nine out of ten Mauritians believe that intersex people deserve equal rights, reflecting growing public support for inclusion, dignity, and human rights for all. Building societies that respect diversity starts with recognising that everyone deserves equal opportunities, protection, and respect, regardless of their sex characteristics.
