A KEYNOTE SPEECH/ADDRESS AT A WORKSHOP ON ADVOCATING FOR SRHR -THROUGH THE MEDIA, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, 27-28 OCTOBER,2015, BY HON. PROFESSOR JUSTICE O.B.K. DINGAKE

Introduction

I wish to express my profound gratitude to the SADC PF Secretary General, Dr Chiviya, and the SADC PF Secretariat, for inviting me to share with this distinguished gathering of regional editors and journalists my thoughts on advocating for Sexual Reproductive Health Rights through the Media.
