Participants also attended a court session, after which they engaged with
the facilitators, asking questions and clarifications on legal procedure, the
conduct of the Magistrate and the effect of some of the orders that were
made. This sought to demystify the courts through practical interaction
with justice sector stakeholders.

Participants in ZLHR Meetings
made presentations on issues relating to the law and HIV. Presentations were
made with special focus on three key areas which were; unpacking the right
to health, criminalisation of HIV transmission, and intellectual property and
access to medicines. A plan of action was developed to increasingly integrate the
responses and initiatives of the varied stakeholders towards addressing the key
issues identified through the symposium.
Training of trainers – participants follow the sessions closely
In March, ZLHR hosted 24 participants (13 men and 11 women), drawn from
community based organisations across the country at a two-day workshop in
Bulawayo. The seminar sought to transfer skills to CBO partners on legal remedies
available to communities whose rights have been violated. It was also a chance to
create awareness on provisions of the new Constitution. By training community
leaders, the expectation is that they will be able to address the knowledge gap
for HRDs based in communities who have limited knowledge of the remedies
available in the event of violations of their rights. Participants were also equipped
with a range of facilitation skills for use when they train their fellow community
dwellers on the legal remedies available and how to access support from ZLHR.
