Ecuador Embraces Human Rights Education
Volunteers teach students at 60 colleges and 20 universities in 7 provinces
Thousands of students and educators in Ecuador at 80 colleges and universities have learned about their human rights through the actions of Youth for Human Rights Ecuador. Volunteers traveled to 7 provinces, 8 cities, 60 colleges and 20 universities across the country to bring Human Rights Education to over 17,000 youth and adults during one project in 2010 alone. Events and workshops were also held in several other cities including the City of Quito to 3,000 students, and four separate events in the City of Baths.
Volunteers reached out to youth, community and religious leaders, and local dignitaries with Youth for Human Rights educational materials including the The Story of Human Rights video, the 30 Rights public service announcements, the UNITED video and the booklet What are Human Rights?
After the Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) World Educational Tour visited Ecuador in 2010, students representing dozens of public and private schools attended an event at Ecuador's University of the Hemispheres, where Youth for Human Rights International was presented with a Certificate of Recognition.
Youth for Human Rights volunteers in Ecuador have collected petition signatures in support of the implementation of Human Rights Education in schools.
Youth for Human Rights volunteers organized Ecuador's International Walk for Human Rights 2010 on one of the main avenues in Ecuador's capital city, Quito, to celebrate International Human Rights Day on December 10th. Participants included college students, teachers, business people, and members of like-minded organizations. A giant screen showed the 30 Rights public service announcements and the national Ecuador TV broadcast the event to millions more. In the City of Ambato 5,200 students inspired the local community and local officials to come together, also in honor of International Human Rights Day.
In Ecuador, television, radio, and print media have broadcast information about Youth for Human Rights and the 30 Rights public service announcements to millions, adding to the country's grassroots Human Rights Education movement that is teaching youth and adults about their human rights.

What happens when young people don't know their human rights?
The purpose of Youth for Human Rights International is to teach youth about human rights, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and inspire them to become advocates for tolerance and peace.
A Youth for Human Rights International membership supports this purpose. Through educating our youth about their human rights, we make an immediate difference in their lives and how they treat others.
In South Africa, a project was done at a school which had a chronic bullying problem. The school had no solution for it, and students were the victims of abuse and violence as a result.
After discussions and talks on human rights and watching the Youth for Human Rights 30 Public Service Announcements DVD, the students and educators decided to handle the problem of bullying and violence in their school. Students came forward with apologies and regrets about their behaviour, and pledged that the school would be safe and that violence and bullying would be a thing of the past.
Your membership and donations help make this possible.
Youth for Human Rights International gives schools the tools to effectively
teach human rights - for free.
