    Typical day

    Typical working hours are from 9 AM to 16 30 PM, but we may also have seminars and meetings in the evenings and on weekends. The nature of the work is to follow the time when the target groups are free.


    The participant will develop human rights materials to study the present legislation and its changes. Some rights issues, such as LGBT rights, are sensitive in Africa and must be addressed accordingly. 

    Much of the work involves advocating for the implementation of the present human rights laws. The general public does not know their rights, and we support vulnerable groups such as women, children, and disabled people. You will use existing toolkits for seminars, develop them, and create new ones.

    Much time will be spent on visibility. For example, Facebook is an excellent tool for reaching Tanzanians. Art in Tanzania's Facebook page has 38k likes, and we can reach tens of thousands of Tanzanians.
