Youth Stand for Human Rights Sierra Leone, Kono Chapter and other youth led organizations joined Advocate for Social Justice and Development - A S J D- SL with support from ActionAid Sierra Leone to commemorate International Youth Day for the first time in Kono District at the Augustine Sahr Sheku Dukono Hall, D.O. Barracks, Koidu City.
Under the theme “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” the gathering created space for young people to discuss key challenges affecting them, including education and livelihoods, drug abuse, gender equality, youth participation, democracy, and climate justice.

We were reminded that young people are not only leaders of tomorrow, they are leaders of today. We must be empowered with opportunities, skills, dignity, meaningful participation, and platforms to influence decisions that affect our lives. At Youth Stand for Human Rights Sierra Leone, we remain committed to amplifying youth voices and promoting human rights, justice, accountability, and inclusive development.

We extend our profound gratitude to ASJD-SL and ActionAid Sierra Leone for making this important commemoration possible.Together, let our commitments produce action and create opportunities for the young people of Kono and Sierra Leone.

Youth Stand for Human Rights Sierra Leone during the Second Sitting of the Children and Youth Parliament, established by the Advocate for Social Justice and Development - A S J D- SL, we had the opportunity to promote human rights education and drug-abuse prevention in Kono District.

Our Deputy District Coordinator, Amb Ishmael Tamba Momorie, together with the entire Kono Chapter membership, presented booklets to His Worship Mayor Komba Sam of Koidu City, containing the 30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and The Truth About Drugs.We also distributed these materials to the Honourable Members and participants present, with the goal of strengthening awareness and encouraging young people to make informed choices.

For us, advocacy is not just about speaking, it is about sharing knowledge, empowering communities, and turning awareness into action.Knowledge creates awareness. Awareness inspires action. Action creates change.
