Presentation on child & youth human rights defenders | UN Special Rapporteur on HRDs at

On 12 March 2024, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders Mary Lawlor presented a report on the challenges faced by child and youth human rights defenders to the UN Human Rights Council.
Called "We are not just the future", the report analyses the situation of child and youth human rights defenders, with a particular focus on structural and societal barriers to their activism, legal restrictions on their participation in civic space and the human rights violations that they face as a result of their peaceful activities in promoting and protecting human rights.
