    Typical day

    Standard working hours are from 9 AM to 1630 PM, but we may have seminars and meetings in the evening and at weekends. The nature of the work is to follow the target groups' availability.


    The participant will develop human rights materials to study the present legislation and changes in the bill. 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. 

    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.
