Youth for Human Rights of Tampa Bay

This is the Tampa Bay chapter of Youth for Human Rights, an international group with the purpose of educating young people in human rights so that they support tolerance and peace.
What are human rights?
Human rights are the basic privileges that every person is entitled to. Such things like food and shelter, an education, freedom of thought and protection from unjust treatment, etc.
Did you know you have 30 rights?
The United Nations (an organization formed to bring about peace between the many countries in the world) wrote something called the Universal Declaration for Human Rights that explains all 30 rights.
Click here for the "What Are Human Rights?" booklet.
Although this document exists, it is not known about by the average person. And violations of these rights occur all the time. As an example, many women in the Middle East are denied education and freedom of expression. People in Cuba and other countries are not allowed to leave their county or to have their own beliefs.
I urge you to learn and understand these rights. The only way we can protect our rights and the rights of others is by knowing them and speaking up against violations.
Please contact me to find out how you can learn more and how you can help.
