THE TANZANIA HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT 2022
On Wednesday, 12th April 2023, the Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) launched its Tanzania Human Rights Report 2022. The report is LHRC’s 21st since 2002 and highlights the situation of human rights in Tanzania, both Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, touching on the positives and the negatives that transpired throughout the year. It has been prepared in collaboration with the Zanzibar Fighting Against Youth Challenges Organization (ZAFAYCO).
The report is the outcome of LHRC’s assessment of the human rights situation in Tanzania in line with domestic, regional, and international human rights standards, including human rights conventions ratified by Tanzania and the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania of 1977. This was made possible through the use of at least eight sources of data, including a human rights survey conducted in 20 regions of Mainland Tanzania and LHRC’s human rights monitoring and legal aid programmes. Secondary data included reports, speeches, and statements by government and non-government actors and institutions. LHRC’s media survey also provided an important data source for this report, enabling the triangulation of data, and laying a foundation for further research.
