On Friday, 6th March 2026, the Human Rights Commission of Zambia (HRC-Z) engaged members of the Human Rights Club at Kasama Boys Secondary School in Northern Province as part of its ongoing efforts to promote and strengthen the understanding of human rights among young people, particularly learners in schools.

The engagement provided an opportunity for the Commission to interact directly with learners and discuss the importance of human rights, responsibilities, and the role young people can play in promoting respect for the rights and dignity of others within their schools and communities.

During the session, learners were sensitised on various human rights issues affecting young people, including the importance of equality, respect for the rights of others, and the need to speak out against practices that undermine human dignity.

The discussion further encouraged learners to actively participate in promoting a culture of human rights within their school environment and to become ambassadors of respect, fairness, and accountability among their peers.

Human Rights Clubs in schools play a critical role in nurturing responsible citizens by empowering learners with knowledge about their rights and duties. Through such platforms, young people are encouraged to appreciate the value of human dignity, equality, and justice.

Through engagements of this nature, the Commission continues to support schools in building a generation that understands, respects, and upholds human rights.

The Commission commends the administration and members of the Kasama Boys Secondary School Human Rights Club for their commitment and dedication to promoting human rights awareness among learners.
