In celebration of United Nations Human Rights Day, each year thousands of youth of different ethnics, nationalities, races, religions and cultures join together in "The International Walk for Human Rights," creating awareness of the necessity of education of Universal Declaration of Human Rights - so that one day we will all live in a world without human trafficking, discrimination, illiteracy, starvation, and other violations of our rights.

The International Walk for Human Rights is sponsored byYouth for Human Rights International (YHRI), a non-profit, secular organization founded in 2001 by educator Dr. Mary Shuttleworth. Headquartered in the USA and with over 180 chapters around the world, the purpose of Youth for Human Rights International is to teach youth about human rights both in and out of the classroom, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, so they become advocates for tolerance and peace.

Award winning youth-oriented videos of each of the 30 rights according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can be viewed at youthforhumanrights.org.
