The Academy for Human Rights and the Capital Region Institute for Human Rights are excited to present their first annual Global Youth Summit
Designed for high school students, by students.


Commemorating the global celebration of Human Rights Day, this event is designed to provide high school students from around the world an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and take the next steps for a more equitable society.
 
By popular demand, the theme of the day is “Fighting for Women Internationally”. Students will have the opportunity to hear Pakistani human rights leader Ghina Mehr, a powerhouse activist in the space of women's human security and gender issues; University of Buffalo Professor Ryan Rish about media literacy; as well as break into groups with students from around the world to discuss an important women's rights topic of their choice. It will be a great chance to gain inspiration to take steps for action in your community!
