Namibia should adopt a human rights approach that prioritises the needs of its citizens to effectively address challenges like unemployment, poverty, and inequality. 

Legislative reform and the development of policies that better address the rights of individuals with disabilities in Namibia are urgently needed.

One issue that requires closer attention is the protection of the rights of individuals with disabilities within the criminal justice system.

Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab has stressed the need to translate words into action by effectively implementing policies that are inclusive, especially for women.

This, she says, creates an integrated human rights ecosystem, allowing for equal opportunities.

The Minister of Justice, Yvonne Dausab, delivered a keynote address at the Pan-African Parliament, emphasizing the role of civil society in promoting democracy, human rights, peace, and security within the African Union.
