"This book is a guide for every young person who believes in a better world for all"―Malala Yousafzai

As a young person, you have human rights, no matter who you are or where you live. You have the freedom to speak out and express your opinions. You have the rights to equality, health, a clean environment, a safe place to live, and protection from harm. But rights are often denied. Governments and adults don’t always uphold them.

Enter Know Your Rights and Claim Them, written in partnership with Amnesty International, Angelina Jolie, and Geraldine Van Bueren. This book details the rights promised in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, starting with the history of child rights, and the laws that protect them. It highlights the powerful work of young activists across the world. It acts as a guide to help you navigate the law, take action, and demand what is rightfully yours. Make the most of your rights and claim them.
