MIJ/JHR Human Rights Project

Jhr (Journalists for Human Rights) is a Canadian-based NGO with offices in  the DRC, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.  Its goal is to make everyone in the world aware of their rights. Jhr has trained over 2,000 African journalists and has worked in partnership with African media outlets to produce over 3,000 human rights stories.

For two years, Canadian media professionals are working with the Malawi Institute of Journalism to improve the human rights curriculum, support campus media, and organize workshops. They are also supporting a jhr student chapter at MIJ through which students work to raise awareness about human rights on the campus by hosting events and creating unique media.
