Just In: Film to commemorate Human Rights Day unveiled

Paradigm Initiative (PIN), a leading Pan African human rights and advocacy organisation, on Friday unveiled its short film – “Finding Diana” – online to commemorate the 2022 International Human Rights Day.

 

 

Ms Thobekile Matimbe, the organisation’s Partnerships and Engagements Manager, said in a statement that the movie ‘Finding Diana’ is premiered to stress the importance of the day.

 

 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that International Human Rights Day is set aside by the United Nations to be celebrated on Dec.10 with the theme for 2022 as: “Dignity, Freedom And Justice for All”.

 

 

Matimbe said that the movie, Finding Diana, which was inspired by the organisation’s 2021 Londa report, would be showcased live on YouTube.

 

 

She said that human rights are based on values that keep society fair, just and equal.

 

 

Matimbe called on the African States to guarantee human dignity and freedom online for all.

 

 

“Paradigm Initiative continues to make deliberate efforts geared towards expanding the continent’s digital rights.

 

 

“Finding Diana short film is an advocacy tool which goes a long way in emphasising themes such as internet freedom, freedom of expression and access to information among others.

 

 

“Everyone should be able to use the internet without fear of violence or harassment.

 

 

“In premiering the movie virtually, PIN joins the world to reflect on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948,” she said.

 

 

According to her, the film will be screened to audiences drawn from different parts of the world.

 

 

Matimbe said that the 2021 Londa report highlighted the state of digital rights and inclusion in 22 countries across the continent.

 

 

She said that every year, PIN monitors the environment, documents violations, and reports on the state of digital rights and inclusion in Africa. CONTINUE READING………………….
