Standing Up For Your Rights

How can I stand up for my rights?

There are many different ways in which you can stand up for your rights as a young person, from very basic, simple actions to developing and implementing advocacy and campaigns. Below are a number of important, basic steps you should consider if you want to advocate for youth rights. Some steps may be more relevant than others depending on the context in which you are working. You may also want to consult other advocacy resources and consider additional factors or steps that apply to your situation. The UN Human Rights Office’s Stand up for human rights campaign may provide some ideas and inspiration. For more information on the campaign, visit: standup4humanrights.org
