About

The Youth Rights Advocacy toolkit is the result of a partnership between the United Nations Human Rights Office, Education Above All Foundation and Silatech. The toolkit aims to empower youth in all their diversity to advocate for their rights, and particularly young people in situations of vulnerability or marginalization, gathering key information in a single place in an accessible, user-friendly way.

The toolkit is primarily intended for use by young people and youth activists, including young human rights defenders and young peacebuilders, as well as youth-led, youth-focused, and youth-serving organizations.

Access the toolkit

The toolkit is structured in a question-and-answer format addressing different topics. For each question, a shorter answer of a few lines to several short paragraphs is provided, along with a longer, more detailed answer for those who are interested to go ‘More in depth’. Where relevant, links to resources where you can learn more and find additional information are also provided.

The toolkit consists of four main sections that complement and build on one another. It can be used in its entirety or by section, depending on individual needs and interests.
