How can a bar-room disagreement change a life forever?  Why are hawkers being harassed? And how do killers-turned-social media celebrities escape justice? 

In a six-part podcast series Human Rights, African Stories produced by IWPR, journalists, communicators and campaigners in Nigeria and Kenya tell the stories of human rights in Africa.

From pressuring the police and security services to be more accountable to getting issues like domestic violence out into the open, the series looks at how campaigners are finding new ways to tell the world about injustice.

The podcast also explores ways in which journalists can use open source intelligence techniques to find stories and raise issues including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention and gender-based violence.

People listen to podcasts based on reviews, and the number of people sharing. So we’d really appreciate reviews.
