Mary Shuttleworth was one of this year's IAS Freedom Medalists.Her work to create Youth for Human Rights International is a real inspiration. Her whole purpose is to arm youth with information on their rights, so they will demand their own rights and protect those of others. It is creating a whole generation of human rights advocates.
And with the amount of abuse against children, from child slavery and child soldiers to simple parental abuse, forced drugging of kids in schools, you name it-- kids need to know their rights!
