Youth as human rights defenders: beyond symbolic participation
Open Global Rights has published a piece arguing that young people should be recognised as full human rights defenders rather than being limited to symbolic roles in decision-making. The article calls for genuine participation for youth in rights advocacy, moving past token representation. Discussion centres on how institutions can give young activists real power and influence in human rights work.
Why now: Ongoing debate about whether institutions genuinely include young activists in human rights work or merely tokenise them
