HRC-Z sensitizes Twashuka Primary School learners on rights and responsibilities

On 13th May 2026, the Human Rights Commission of Zambia (HRC-Z) sensitized 354 learners at Twashuka Primary School in Lusaka on children's rights and responsibilities.

Education and Training Officer, Mrs. Precious Kalima reminded learners about the need to ensure that they exercise their rights with due regard to the responsibilities that come with those rights.

Mrs. Kalima emphasized that rights and responsibilities are inseparable, such that one cannot enjoy human rights without fulfilling their responsibilities. In a school environment, learners must abide by school rules as part of the responsibilities that go hand in hand with their right to education.

The learners were encouraged to report any human rights violations through the Commission’s toll-free line 8181.
