Today is International Human Rights Day, and I spent it in the company of the female inmates at Lusaka Correctional Facility.

I was graciously received by Deputy Commissioner General (Operations) of the Zambia Correctional Service, Mr Kuyomba Bwalya, and then I followed the National Legal Aid Clinic for Women (NLACW) when they offered legal aid services to the 172 women in the facility.

It was indeed a very important visit for me and an inspiring opportunity to see how human rights are put to action! Sweden is happy to continue our long-term support to NLACW.
