In recognition of Human Rights Day taking place on 21 March, TECNO and itel proudly join the nation in honouring the legacy of the struggle for human rights and the ongoing pursuit of dignity, equality, and justice for all South Africans.
This pivotal day is commemorated annually on 21 March, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Sharpeville Massacre in 1960 where many people lost their lives in the fight against apartheid.
Human Rights Day is not only a tribute to the past but also a call to action for the future. It highlights the importance of promoting and protecting human rights, ensuring that every individual is afforded the freedoms and protections guaranteed by the Constitution of South Africa.
As a leading technology brand, TECNO and itel recognise the vital role that technology plays in advancing human rights and fostering inclusivity. By leveraging technology, individuals and communities can be empowered, ensuring that everyone has access to the tools and resources necessary to exercise their rights and improve their lives.
Making information accessible to everyone is crucial for fostering an inclusive and informed society. When information is readily available and understandable, it empowers individuals to make informed decisions, participate actively in their communities, and advocate for their rights. Accessibility helps bridge gaps in knowledge
and resources, enabling marginalised groups to voice their concerns and contribute to societal progress. Moreover, an informed populace drives innovation and economic growth, as diverse perspectives lead to better problem-solving and creativity. Ultimately, prioritising accessibility cultivates a more equitable environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and engage meaningfully with the world around them.
TECNO and itel believe that every individual should have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background. Together, we can create a society that values and respects the rights of all its members, the brands add.
