Biashara Na Haki

The Biashara na Haki: Impacts of Businesses on Human Rights series seeks to respond to concerns raised by HURICAP’s local partners in Africa that there are insufficient human rights education materials aimed at local nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) and community-based organisations (CBOs) in relation to corporate-related human rights issues.
