Human Rights, African Stories - Podcast
Human Rights, African Stories is part of IWPR’s Africa Resilience Network Project, and features journalists, communicators, and campaigners talking about their work promoting human rights. But it’s also about stories. Why are killer cops harassing young men in informal settlements in Nairobi? How did a barroom brawl end in extrajudicial killings? And what links bandits to child malnutrition in Northern Nigeria? A six-part podcast series, each episode comes out every Friday, and is available on major podcasting platforms.

"It’s great to hear Kenyan and Nigerian journalists, communicators, and campaigners telling their stories, even if they are sometimes harrowing. The commitment to human rights is so impressive." Nick Raistrick AFRICA RESILIENCE NETWORK EDITOR
