Our History
Championing Democracy & Human Rights Across Africa
In 2017, the A frican Parliamentarians Association for Human Rights (AfriPAHR) was born out of the desire of a group of parliamentarians to create a network of both current and former parliamentarians passionate about advancing democracy and human rights, with a specifc focus on freedom of religion and belief, on the African continent. Their work is informed by the lived experience of their citizenry.
Against the backdrop of growing concerns for violations of human rights in Africa, AfriPAHR was established based on the notion that a regional network of like-minded parliamentarians and other relevant stakeholders was needed to address the gaps of current institutional frameworks on human rights. Also, highlighting and promoting the strengths of existing systems for a free and fairer society.

Teamwork & Partnership
AfriPAHR will collaborate with African and international stakeholders.
Diversity
AfriPAHR is committed to diversity in all its work, including regional, gender, political, ethnic, religious and belief diversity.

AfriPAHR will promote principles which ensure that everybody has an equal opportunity and is not treated differently or discriminated against.
Humanity

Sustainability & Organizational Structure
AfriPAHR is led by a Steering Group which consists of current and former parliamentarians from across Africa. All members participate in AfriPAHR as individuals and not as representatives of political or government bodies or any other organization.
The network is supported by a Secretariat responsible for the day-to-day management of the network. The secretariat coordinates actionable programs to achieve the key strategic objectives for the network's functioning, growth and sustainability.
