Human Rights education has become one of the most important in the industry. The hunger among people to know about their rights is both a duty for universities to undertake and a business opportunity. Most Civil Society Organisations have been calling for tailor-made courses in human rights which they are willing to sponsor people to undertake. We can target NGOCC, Women for Change, and CCJP among others for such a course. It can also be a hot cake among members of the general public if properly and intensively marketed.

At the end of the course, students should be able to:

1. Discuss the origins of human rights and human rights law
2. Identify the various human rights instruments
3. Explain the enforcement mechanisms of human rights available in Zambia
4. Demonstrate an understanding of the Zambian Bill of Rights
5. Discuss the various types of rights
