The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), UN Women, and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), has organized a two-day training session aimed at equipping Ghanaian journalists with essential skills to enhance their reporting on human rights issues. The training program, which commenced on Thursday, August 15, 2024, and concluded on Friday, August 16, 2024, brought together selected journalists to deepen their understanding of human rights and gender issues. The training aimed to ensure that journalists have a better grasp of human rights, enabling them to effectively engage with human rights mechanisms, including protection measures. Journalists were also educated on the importance of incorporating human rights norms into their work, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and reporting in a manner that promotes the protection of vulnerable groups.
