Young people have a fresher sense of the world. They know issues that cause suffering to people and they act to address them at their own level. This is seen in human rights-related initiatives that provide the youth in Asia the space to learn about realities in the community and find creative and innovative ways of addressing issues and promoting human rights.
Some youth in Asia engage in raising awareness on issues and human rights, advocate for the respect for and protection of the rights of the marginalized, facilitate youth empowerment including personal development, and provide support for marginalized communities.
These youth have the creativity and capacity to use the latest information and communication technologies to disseminate their messages to fellow youth and the general public. They use art, do research, organize training and undertake other activities to pursue their goals.
These youth show that they have a vision for a better world and they are willing to use their energy in contributing to the pursuit of peace, justice, prosperity and respect for human rights for all but with priority for those who suffer in our societies.
