The Office of the Ombudsman, in partnership with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Namibia-Angola, hosted a three-day training on access to justice and the legislative framework at Ondangwa in the Oshana Region.

The workshop discussed the combating of gender-based violence, trafficking of persons, child care and protection, crime, Wills and Estates, community courts, and investigation of maladministration and human rights violations.

The Office of the Ombudsman and UNESCO have launched a report on albinism in Namibia. The research, launched at Ongwediva, looks at the challenges facing communities and how these can be addressed.

The report, among others, recommends access to health services and job opportunities with favourable working conditions for people with albinism.

Ombudsman, Basilius Dykugha, says the media should play an integral role in promoting successes being made by people with albinism to encourage others to succeed and live limitless lives.
