Commemorating the Africa Human Rights day One of the major highlights was the mobile human rights clinic held in the Epworth suburb of Harare in commemoration of the 25 October Africa Human Rights Day. The commemoration ran under the theme “Harnessing the demographic dividend through investment in youth.” The main objective of the clinic was to enable members of the Forum to interact with communities particularly the youth. The human rights clinic also took opportunity to capitalize the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) process that was taking place in all parts of Zimbabwe. Proof of residence forms (V.R. 9 Forms) were available for distribution on the day and a Commissioner of Oaths from the PIU was present to commission affidavits.
