Absolute determination

We celebrate Nelson Mandela International Day every year to shine light on the legacy of a man who changed the 20th century and helped shape the 21st. This is a moment for all to renew with the values that inspired Nelson Mandela. Absolute determination. A deep commitment to justice, human rights and fundamental freedoms. A profound belief in the equality and dignity of every woman and man. A relentless engagement for dialogue and solidarity across all lines and divisions. Nelson Mandela was a great statesman, a fierce advocate for equality, the founding father of peace in South Africa.

The campaign is carried out within the framework of the projects:

- «Paths to Justice: Strengthening Human Rights through Torture Prevention and Penitentiary System Reform», funded by European Union

- «Promoting Human Rights and Accountability in Tajikistan's Detention Facilities gender-sensitive: Research, Dialogue, and Advocacy», funded by Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI)
