“Institutions like the DPP’s office often deal with rights violations. We understand the importance of raising awareness among everyone. Despite our efforts in this regard, it is not our primary mission, and we also have limited resources for this type of exercise. Organizations like DIS-MOI are dedicated to this critical mission and are key partners for us, as they inform us with their on-the-ground perspective.”

I am also particularly impressed by DIS-MOI's emphasis on building a dynamic South West Indian Ocean People's Movement. By fostering collaboration and solidarity across different communities, DIS-MOI is creating a powerful force for change in the region. This is Ubuntu in practice or the idea that I am because we are – a timeless African philosophy that has fostered communalism on the continent for centuries. Over the years, DIS-MOI has developed many resources to educate a diversity of communities, professional bodies, security personnel, schools and administrations on the many human rights issues that they focus on. They have produced films, books, pamphlets, posters, and media articles. They also hold workshops to promote the exchange of ideas and best practices between all these groups. I am proud to support an organisation like DIS-MOI that is making a real difference in the fight for human rights in Mauritius and beyond. Their commitment, passion, and dedication serve as a beacon of hope for all activists, young and old, who believe in a better, more just world.

” The struggles of innumerable groups to build a world of justice and equity have produced What the UN calls a Rights Based Approach. Rights are not mere norms. They are legally Enforceable. . This is where NGO’s like DIS-MOI are essential. They support, train and equip Rights Holders to achieve what is best for them and link them with similar groups. They contribute to make the local global and vice versa. ”

” DIS-MOI has proved over and over during the last decade its support to vulnerable groups of citizens and this includes children. DIS-MOI has also been instrumental in developing human rights education in the south west Indian Ocean, through human rights education manuals. My office and the regional human rights organisation have collaborated many a time for the welfare of children. ”

“RLS has been proudly working together with DIS-MOI for many years. Their constant efforts to change the world for the better as well as DIS-MOI´s contributions to justice, equality, empowerment and inclusivity are highly relevant in those challenging times.” – Janine Walter
