ZLHR Annual Report 2016 40  +XPDQ5LJKWV'D\IHVWLYLWLHV In commemoration of the International Human Rights Day in December 2016, ZLHR partnered with other law based organisations around the country and conducted mobile legal clinics. The CSO partners included those with expertise on children’s rights and women’s rights, those working on fostering a culture of accountability through fighting corruption as well and general provision of legal aid. This not only increased access to justice for communities that were targeted, but presented participants with an opportunity to interact with diverse law based organisations that have complementary areas of expertise. It also enhanced collaboration between ZLHR and its partners. As is customary, outstanding human rights lawyers were also honoured at an event that was hosted by ZLHR at Kodzero-Amalungelo House. Lawyers honoured this year were Lison Ncube from the Southern Region and Obey Shava from the Northern Region. These two had exhibited great courage and commitment in 2016 and were involved in litigation as part of the legal team that successfully represented residents in several cases prompted by the July nationwide protests against the continued meltdown of the socio-economic situation. This work involved long hours under immense pressure as the arrests continued to be frequent. 2EH\6KDYDUHFHLYHVKLVDZDUG IRUEHLQJWKH=/+5+XPDQ 5LJKWV/DZ\HURIWKH\HDU² 1RUWKHUQ5HJLRQIURPWKH5R\DO 1HWKHUODQGV$PEDVVDGRU*HUD 6QHOOHU /LVRQ1FXEHUHFHLYHV WKH=/+5+XPDQ 5LJKWV/DZ\HURIWKH \HDUDZDUGIURPWKH 5R\DO1HWKHUODQGV $PEDVVDGRU*HUD 6QHOOHU
