Paragraph text
Participants in a meeting of national human rights institutions from the African region in 2017 expressed such a welcome perspective, noting that, in Africa, religion was inevitable. There was no process of inclusion and evolution of any type that could happen without faith leaders being one major actor. National human rights institutions could engage with already existing inclusive faith leaders and faith-based organizations that were advocating the rights of all. The positive voices provided opportunities to build on.
