Radio stations stand up for someone’s rights

25 July 2017

Community radio stations across South Africa were encouraged to stand up for someone’s rights during a recent radio competition sponsored by the South African Human Rights Commission and the UN Human Rights Regional Office in Southern Africa. The winning station solved a compensation issue for a local farm worker injured on the job. Learn more about the project and the winning stations in the film below.
