Human rights education is a vital component of Liberia’s post-conflict reconstruction. Without knowledge of such fundamental freedoms, our youth are exposed to repetition of the exploitations and atrocities of the war years. Thus, Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) has been working with its local chapter leaders since 2006 to build consensus and support to teach the nation’s youth their basic human rights and responsibilities contained in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
