Ending Human Trafficking

The Washington D.C. Chapter of Youth for Human Rights (YHR DC) educates the community and our leaders about their official#HumanRights. Instead of waiting for a violation to occur, we educate people beforehand, thus decreasing the crime, human and sex trafficking, bullying, and suicide rates. We are a part of Youth for Human Rights International which has chapters in nearly every country on earth! Learn what your 30 rights are atwww.YouthForHumanRights.org. Follow us onFacebookand message us to schedule a FREE interactive seminar for your local group!#YHRDC#StandUp4HumanRights#KnowYour30#YouthForHumanRights#WashingtonDC#DCvolunteers#NoVAvolunteers#KnowledgeIsPower.Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 by Dr. Mary Shuttleworth, an educator born and raised in apartheid South Africa, where she witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of discrimination and the lack of basic human rights. The purpose of YHRI 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. YHRI accomplishes this through simple yet empowering, high-quality human rights education materials for youth, teachers and officials in more than 20 languages.
