NSHR Making A Difference

I AM tempted or even forced to report every legal problem to the National Society for Human Rights.

After I registered my case of maintenance at the Magistrates Court

several times, my ex-boyfriend never showed up when he was

summonsed and the police never arrested him.

I then decided to report my case to the National Society for

Human Rights.

 

I am now, finally, receiving maintenance for my child through

their offices (NSHR).

 

Another problem I had, was that recently my employer did not pay

me for my sick leave and I was also not registered with the Social

Security Commission.

 

At the time I was tempted to report my case to the NSHR but my

sick leave was finally paid and this problem was solved amicably

between me and my employer and I am still working for her.

 

I want to urge my fellow Namibians that whenever they have

problems, whether it is with their housework or whatever, these

people at the NSHR are capable of dealing with any issue.

 

Instead of going to the police or the Ministry of Labour and

wasting your time waiting for more than five hours for the bosses

(officials) to call you and attend to your problem (which they are

not even going to solve), at the NSHR office they will help you

free of charge.

 

Your case will be solved quickly and amicably and politely.

 

I like the way they deal with cases and I was also taught my

rights.

 

I wish them the strength and energy to work as hard this year as

they did in the previous years.
