In a landmark moment for Zimbabwe, Fungayi Jessie Majome has been sworn in as the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission chairperson, heralding a new chapter in the nation's human rights journey.
"Human rights are about the dignity, quality, and freedom for every one of us," Majome asserts, calling for a depoliticization of the human rights discourse. Drawing inspiration from Zimbabwe's liberation struggle, Majome sees human rights as integral to the nation's aspirations. She envisions a culture of human rights that resonates with the country's values, untainted by colonial influence.
As Zimbabwe is a signatory to international human rights conventions, Majome's tenure is expected to bridge the gap between global commitments and local realities.
