The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) was established by the NHRC Act, 1995 as amended. Its establishment is aimed at creating an enabling environment for extra–judicial recognition, promotion and protection, and enforcement of human rights, and treaty obligations and providing a forum for public enlightenment and dialogue on human rights issues including advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. The Commission has earmarked the rights of women and gender-related matters as one of its thematic areas of focus.
If for any reason you have need to visit the NHRC state office of where you are living in Nigeria, this article will guide with that.
