Welcome to Youth for Human Rights International Chapter Austria

The Purpose of Youth for Human Rights is:The purpose of Youth for Human Rights International is to teach youth about human rights, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and inspire them to become valuable advocates for tolerance and peace. Dr. Mary Shuttleworth, School Principal and Educator from South Africa founded “Youth for Human Rights International” originally as an educational program for children and youth to let them know at an early age how important it is to understand the value of human rights and religious tolerance. She realized that not very much was done to forward the concept of human rights to young people. From that time on she lead the NGO as the executive director, later as the president. There are many ways to support this cause and help youth to know about their human rights. Thank you very much for your visit and we hope you enjoy our website. _______________________________________________________________________________ We are going to integrate our annual Walk for Human Rights into the demonstrations for Human Rights in Tibet.
