The Ombudsman’s Office has made great progress in the formation and promotion of significant volunteer expertise in the various fields that include the defense of human rights throughout the Venezuelan territory.
This was stated on Tuesday by the Ombudsman, Alfredo Ruiz, during his participation in the “Poder Ciudadano” (Citizen Power) program, broadcast on Tuesday by the Informative Channel of Radio Nacional de Venezuela (RNV).
“Last year more than 80,000 people approached the 37 locations that are deployed in the country interested in training in human rights to serve their communities. This year we are going on the same vein, so the Ombudsman’s Office will offer more than 50 long-term certificate courses”, he explained.
In a first phase, the senior official announced the start of 27 certificate courses in 15 states of the country that will train more than 1,500 people on important issues such as the rights of girls, boys and adolescents, women, conflict mediation and resolution, human rights for people with disabilities, labor human rights, on the criminal system of responsibility of adolescents and everything concerning social rights in the area of health, among others.
“It is worth noting that the Ombudsman’s Office offers two new specializations regarding International Refugee Law and Human Rights for Farmers, Peasants and other farm workers”, informed Ruiz.
