Monrovia – The Office of the High Commission on Human Rights (OHCHR) has held a two-day forum for a smooth partnership between the Independent National Human Rights Commission (INHRC) and other civil society organizations (CSO) to promote gender equality and other human rights issues in the country. The event brought together civil society organizations, INHRC, students and youths groups along with the government of Liberia in finding a solution to improve basic human rights issue in the country. Adding up, Dawson said despite separately working in the areas of human rights, a strong partnership between the INCHR and CSOs will be a good venture for curtailing human rights abuses in the society. According to him, for the OHCHR to support the collaboration, the INCHR and the CSOs need to increase awareness and strengthen each other’s role in the area of human rights. The organization since early last year has started a six-year mandate to build the capacity of the INHRC and CSOs in Liberia.
