JHRâs mandate: To promote awareness of human rights through media, in Africa and in North America.
AT MCGILL
The Journalists for Human Rights McGill University Chapter is a group of students actively engaged in informing their community about human rights issues through media campaigns and other on campus projects.
Our work includes producing Speak! Newspaper and Speak! Radio, holding amazing awareness and fundraising events, and working with other groups on campus and in Montreal.
JHR McGill can be contacted at jhrmcgill@gmail.com.
IN AFRICA
JHR provides unbiased media and capacity building training to African journalists (specifics vary depending on the country). Through its work with local African media partners, JHR currently helps reach and educate 20 million people every week about their rights. Typically, a JHR trainer will work alongside an African journalist for 6-8 months, mentoring him or her and helping with field production. JHR stays in each country for only 5 years, in order to promote sustainability without dependency.
