Today I Take a Stand: Becoming a Full-Time Human Rights Advocate

Today, 26 July 2017, I am officially announcing a decision that will shape my life and, I hope, inspire many others: I am dedicating myself to being a full-time human rights advocate and educator.

Today marks a new chapter. From this moment onward, every action I take, every project I undertake, and every initiative I lead will be guided by one mission: to ensure that human rights are known, understood, and respected by everyone, especially young people.

Human rights are not abstract. They are the principles that protect our freedom, dignity and opportunities. They are what allow you to go to school safely, speak your mind, pursue your dreams and participate fully in society. Yet, many young people still do not know these rights exist or how to claim them. That is why I am stepping forward.

And here is the exciting part: You can be part of this journey. You, yes you, have the power to become a human rights advocate in your own community. You do not need a title, a degree, or a platform to start. All you need is passion, awareness and the willingness to act.

Being an advocate can take many forms:

1. Educate your friends and peers about their rights.

2. Speak up against injustice whenever you see it.

3. Support initiatives that protect vulnerable groups in your community.

4. Share knowledge through blogs, social media, or local workshops.

Each small action contributes to a bigger movement. Young people can create communities where everyone is aware of their rights and empowered to protect them.

Today is not just about my decision. It is an invitation. Join me, step forward, and become a champion for human rights. Whether you are a student, a professional, or simply someone passionate about justice, your voice matters, your actions matter and your commitment can make a difference.

Let us rise as a generation that not only knows its rights but also defends and promotes them peacefully, powerfully and persistently.

The Great African Exposure Visit-My Journey 'Tyrone Havnar'`

Many young people's, learning is trapped within classroom walls, blocked by poverty, isolation, or lack of opportunity. Imagine how many dreams that NEVER saw the light of day because one child failed to attend school. Zimbabwe-Where it began I founded I Reach Out My Hand Africa (IROMHA) in 2009, thats over 14 years ago, and for all those years I have been its backbone, carrying it forward, funding it out of my own pocket and refusing to let the vision die. This work is never just a project for me; it was born from my own scars. As a child, I knew what it meant to sit at home because school fees was not paid. I knew the sting of being bright but blocked by poverty. I knew what it felt like to watch opportunities slip away simply because of circumstances beyond my control. That pain shaped me. It planted a fire in me to make sure that other children would not have to face the same struggles I did. The vision was always simple, yet powerful: Keep children in school by breaking...

The Boy Child, Seen: A Human Rights Wake-Up Call in Zimbabwe

Did you know many people in Zimbabwe fear talking about Human Righs as the feel its polical? polical disinterest zimbabwean youth We talk a lot about girls’ rights (and rightly so). But while we focus there, too many boys are slipping through the cracks quietly dropping out, working in hazardous jobs, self-medicating, and staying silent because “men do not cry.” This is not a culture war. It is a child rights issue. When our boys fall, our communities pay. The human rights baseline Zimbabwe’s Constitution is crystal clear. Section 56 guarantees equality and non-discrimination for everyone. Section 81 sets out children’s rights protection from economic and sexual exploitation, access to education, and the primacy of the child’s best interests in every decision. The Education Amendment Act (2020) also outlaws corporal punishment and bars exclusion for non-payment of fees or pregnancy. These are enforceable rights, not suggestions.
