Defending Human Rights Across Africa
At the Centre for the Defense of Human Rights and Vocational Training for All (CDHRVTA), we are committed to protecting the fundamental human rights of all individuals, especially those who are most vulnerable. Our Human Rights Defense initiatives are at the core of our mission, ensuring that every person has access to justice, dignity, and the opportunity to live a life free from fear and oppression.
We work tirelessly to address and combat human rights abuses across Africa, providing legal assistance, advocacy, and support to those who have been marginalized, victimized, or denied their basic rights.
Our Key Areas of Focus
CDHRVTA’s Human Rights Defense programs focus on several critical areas, each designed to address the most pressing human rights challenges in our communities:
1. Free Legal Services for the Less Privileged
Access to justice should not be a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. We provide free legal services to individuals who are unable to pay for representation, ensuring that their rights are upheld in the face of legal challenges.
Services Offered:
- Legal representation in court
- Legal advice and counseling
- Assistance with documentation and filing of cases
- Mediation and dispute resolution

Advocacy Against Human Rights Violations
Human rights violations such as torture, unlawful detention, and discrimination are all too common in many parts of Africa. CDHRVTA actively campaigns against these abuses, working to bring perpetrators to justice and support victims.
Our Campaigns:
- Anti-Torture Initiative: Raising awareness and fighting against the use of torture in detention facilities.
- End Unlawful Detention: Advocating for the rights of individuals unlawfully detained without due process.
- Combatting Discrimination: Addressing cases of discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, religion, or disability.

Promoting a Crime-Free Society
