PFF Updates
5th Edition of the Marianne Initiative The Prisoners' Future Foundation (PFF) proudly acknowledges the 5th edition of the Marianne Initiative, bringing together 12 laureates and 12 powerful human rights causes from across the world. This morning’s presentations which included the Presentation of PFF ED Mr. Geoffrey Mayamba highlighted the courage and resilience of these human rights defenders. Operating in often difficult and restrictive environments, their work is both inspiring and a powerful reminder of the urgent need for sustained global action. At a time when human rights are increasingly under threat and those who defend them face growing risks, this initiative stands as a vital platform for solidarity, protection, and international cooperation. As some of the laureates continue their training in Paris until July, and prepare to lend their voices at the upcoming Congress on the fight against the death penalty, PFF reaffirms its commitment to supporting such efforts. The fight against the death penalty remains central to our mission, and we stand in solidarity with all those advocating for justice, dignity, and the right to life. We will continue to support these defenders beyond the training, especially in the field where their work is most critical and impactful. We extend our sincere appreciation to the laureates for their unwavering commitment, and to all partners and institutions that make this initiative possible.

PFF Acting Executive Director Engages Stakeholders in Eswatini The Acting Executive Director of the Prisoners’ Future Foundation (PFF), Mr. Mark Musiwa, is currently in the Kingdom of Eswatini on an official engagement mission aimed at strengthening partnerships and advancing collaborative efforts in criminal justice reform and social reintegration. During his visit, Mr. Musiwa is holding strategic engagements with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and the Council of Eswatini Churches in Manzini, Council of Swaziland Churches and Swaziland Peoples Movement. These engagements are focused on fostering cooperation in promoting human rights, supporting rehabilitation initiatives, and advocating for the welfare of individuals in conflict with the law. A key aspect of the mission is to engage stakeholders on the global movement towards the abolition of the death penalty. PFF is encouraging dialogue and reflection on the importance of aligning with abolitionist states, with the hope that Eswatini may, in due course, join the community of nations that have abolished capital punishment in favour of more humane and restorative justice approaches. The visit underscores PFF’s commitment to regional collaboration and knowledge exchange, particularly in addressing shared challenges affecting justice systems and vulnerable populations across Southern Africa.

Access to justice should never depend on where someone is held During the Judges’ Forum, Chief Justice Mumba Malila called for the formal integration of mobile courts into Zambia’s judicial system, emphasizing the need to include them in official court calendars and planning processes. Through partnerships with the Embassy of Ireland, Irish Rule of Law International, the Judiciary of Zambia, the Legal Aid Board, and the Zambia Correctional Service, the mobile court initiative has already demonstrated its impact reducing delays, clearing case backlogs, and bringing justice closer to inmates in correctional facilities. The pilot project covered nine correctional facilities across Lusaka, Central, and Copperbelt Provinces, improving access to justice and enabling many inmates to progress through the formal court system. As the initiative moves from pilot to institutionalisation, stakeholders agree that mobile courts are a powerful tool for a more accessible, efficient, and humane justice system in Zambia.

Powerful initiative. Mobile courts are a practical and impactful way of bringing justice closer to those who need it most. Reducing prolonged remand periods not only upholds the constitutional right to a timely trial but also helps ease congestion in correctional facilities. Encouraging to see partnerships delivering real results for access to justice in Zambia. 👏⚖️ Thank you Irish Rule of Law International for amplifying our voices.

Mobile Courts Strengthening Access to Justice The Prisoners’ Future Foundation (PFF) Acting Executive Director Mr. Mark Musiwa this afternoon at the Kenneth Kaunda International Conference shared key insights from the Mobile Court Pilot Project during a Judges’ Forum, highlighting progress made in improving access to justice in correctional facilities in Lusaka, Central and Copperbelt Provinces. The initiative, implemented in partnership with the Judiciary of Zambia, Zambia Correctional Service, Legal Aid Board, and the National Prosecution Authority of Zambia, has helped bring court services closer to inmates, reduce case backlogs, and revive long-pending cases. Through strong collaboration and the support of dedicated paralegals, mobile courts are making justice more accessible and efficient. Meanwhile, the Undikumbukire Project (UP) Zambia Executive Director Ms. Sara Larios shared key challenges and lessons learned from the Mobile Court Pilot Project. The discussion highlighted operational and logistical challenges affecting the efficiency of mobile courts, while also emphasizing the importance of collaboration among justice sector institutions such as the Judiciary of Zambia, Zambia Correctional Service, Legal Aid Board, and the National Prosecution Authority of Zambia. Despite these challenges, the Mobile Court initiative continues to play an important role in bringing justice services closer to inmates, reducing case backlogs, and improving access to justice.

GLOBAL SOLIDARITY FOR WOMEN’S RIGHTS MATTERS NOW MORE THAN EVER As Laureates of the Marianne Initiative, we were deeply honoured on March 6, 2026 to be invited by Jean Noël Barrot, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, to a special event commemorating International Women’s Day. Prisoners' Future Foundation Executive Director Mr. Geoffrey Mayamba says the occasion also featured the prestigious Simone Veil Prize of the French Republic for Gender Equality, which recognises outstanding global efforts to advance gender equality and protect the rights of women and girls. Mr. Mayamba notes it was inspiring to engage with leaders, advocates, and organisations from around the world who are working tirelessly to ensure that rights, justice, and opportunity are not privileges, but realities for all women and girls. As partners in this global movement, we remain grateful to the Marianne Initiative for Human Rights Defenders, and to the many donors and partners who continue to support initiatives that empower women, strengthen justice systems, and uplift vulnerable communities. Together, we move forward with renewed commitment to action, justice, and equality.

Happy International Women's Day On this International Women’s Day, I stand in solidarity with the people of Zambia, civil society organisations, and women across the world as we celebrate courage, resilience, and the pursuit of justice.

Prisoners’ Future Foundation Executive Director, Mr. Geoffrey Mayamba, attended an important training on Taking Action Against Sexist Stereotypes and Sexist and Sexual Violence in the Workplace, an issue that directly impacts dignity, safety, and equality for all workers. The session was presented by Paroles de Femmes - Le Relais, an association committed to combating domestic violence and promoting equality between women and men. This engagement comes at a significant time for Zambia. In 2024, the Government of the Republic of Zambia ratified the International Labour Organization Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (C190), affirming everyone’s right to a world of work free from violence and harassment, including Gender Based Violence (GBV). This global commitment complements national legislation such as the Anti-Gender-Based Violence Act, strengthening efforts to create safe, respectful, and inclusive workplaces. The training provided practical tools to help translate these commitments into real, measurable action. At Prisoners’ Future Foundation, we remain dedicated to promoting human dignity, equality, and justice both within communities and within our own institutional spaces. Together, we move from policy to practice. To support Prisoners’ Future Foundation Visit us: First Floor, Chitanda House, Freedom Way Room 117, 119 and 121 P.O Box 80945. Kabwe.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Prisoners Future Foundation (PFF) proudly announces that its Founder and Executive Director, Mr. Geoffrey Mayamba, has become the first Zambian to be recognised as a Marianne Initiative Laureate Human Rights Defender. Mr. Mayamba arrived today in Paris, France, where he will participate in a prestigious five-month programme under the Marianne Initiative for Human Rights Defenders. The initiative, led by the Government of France, supports and strengthens the work of human rights defenders from around the world by providing international exposure, capacity building, and high-level engagement opportunities. Mr. Mayamba’s selection marks a historic milestone not only for Prisoners Future Foundation but also for Zambia’s civil society and human rights community. It recognises his longstanding advocacy for justice reform, rehabilitation, prison health, and the protection of fundamental rights within correctional facilities. Mr. Mayamba was seen off at the airport by his wife and children, alongside PFF Communications and Resource Mobilisation Officer, Lilembalemba Muliyunda. The send-off symbolised both a proud family moment and an institutional milestone for the Foundation he established in 2008 following his own lived experience with incarceration. During the five-month fellowship, Mr. Mayamba will engage with French institutions, civil society organisations, and international human rights actors to exchange best practices and strengthen global partnerships that advance justice, dignity, and health rights for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated persons. Prisoners Future Foundation extends its heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Mayamba and wishes him a productive and impactful stay in France as he carries Zambia’s voice onto the international human rights platform.
