OUR TWO OBJECTIVES :
RAISE AWARENESS
We raise awareness among the younger generation about current human rights issues by mobilizing our network and providing access to quality resources and information. |
ENGAGE
We empower the younger generation by providing concrete opportunities for engagement with leading organizations and initiatives that promote human rights. |
WHY THIS FOUNDATION?
Human rights reflect political, social, and economic issues within our society. Although these rights are fundamental to the well-being of citizens, there is generally little public awareness about them, especially among the younger generation.
Today, more and more young adults are facing the daunting task of entering a highly competitive and saturated labour market. These young graduates want to invest their expertise, time and passion in causes that transcend their current environment to contribute to social justice. They are looking for opportunities to combine their drive for social equality with their desire for personal and professional growth.
Human rights institutions, on the other hand, are increasingly interested in raising awareness about their field and creating career opportunities that entice and draw in this new generation of young professionals. However, their ability to effectively communicate their work and activities to this generation usually falls short. This has perpetuated a lack of engagement on the part of the younger generation, who has a profound wish to make the world a better place but often lacks the means to do it.
