A half-day discussion that saw the participation of representatives of the public and private sectors and civil society. Key speakers Professor Clare Anderson and Dr. Melissa Ifill marked the event.<\/div><\/div>
Human Rights keep evolving and raise pertinent questions that demand honest reflection.<\/div><\/div>
As Guardian of our Constitution, I am mindful that its strength lies not only in the letter of the law but in the spirit with which we honour dignity every day, in the smallest interactions.<\/div><\/div>
This is why, at the conference organised by the National Human Rights Commission to mark International Human Rights Day 2025 today, I emphasised that new-generation rights demand new ways of thinking.<\/div><\/div>
Questions such as:<\/div>
\u2022 Can access to cooling become a matter of survival in a warming world?<\/div>
\u2022 How do we protect mental health as part of the right to life, especially for those serving on the frontlines?<\/div>
\u2022 How do we ensure digital spaces without undermining dignity through cyberbullying or rage-bait?<\/div>
\u2022 How do we guarantee stigma-free equality for women facing chronic health conditions that impact opportunity?<\/div>
\u2022 How do we safeguard dignity for our rapidly ageing population?<\/div>
\u2022 And how do we protect those who arrive at our shores seeking safety, compassion, and fairness?<\/div><\/div>
These are some of the concerns that challenge us to understand that climate resilience, digital safety, mental well-being, and a stigma-free society are no longer luxuries but societal imperatives.<\/div><\/div>
I thank the Chairperson of NHRC, Mr. Satyajit Boolell, SC, and all members, as well as the Attorney-General, Mr. Gavin Glover, SC, our UN partners and distinguished experts, whose insights enriched today\u2019s dialogue.<\/div><\/div>
We must build a Mauritius that faces the future with clarity and compassion- As One People, As One Nation.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
