This HRE USA TAAS Special Global Screening, co-sponsored by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Amnesty International (AI), and Soka Gakkai International (SGI), is centered around the multimedia resource “Changemakers: Stories of Young Human Rights Educators.” Launched in December 2023 by AI, SGI, and the OHCHR, this resource aims to inspire and empower young people to advocate for human rights causes.

Objectives:

  • Provide a space for dialogue on human rights education for, with and by youth as a tool to promote human rights, including gender equality.
  • Discuss ideas on how to utilize the multimedia resource as well as other innovative formats to strengthen human rights education for youth in formal and non-formal contexts.

The event is designed for young individuals and anyone in the general public passionate about advancing human rights and gender equality. Let’s unite to empower youth as effective advocates for gender equality and human rights.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
