Generation Human Rights empowers youth to chart a world free of human rights abuse & genocide through human rights education in the classroom and in the field.

“…the spirit of hope dwells here…in art and in words. And, of course, in the children themselves, who have potential to right earlier generations’ wrongs.”

Millions of people in Indonesia are living through two crises, and too few people are talking about them 🇮🇩

A young woman in Indonesia wrote to us asking for help raising awareness; thank you for trusting us to share this story. Please swipe, share and support verified relief efforts (PMI, UNICEF Indonesia, Save the Children and Plan Indonesia)

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Indonesia suffering from the consequences of this tragic situation 💚🙏🏼

This week’s Knowledge Corner looks at how conflict and hunger drive each other. War destroys farmland, blocks aid and forces families from their homes, and hunger can in turn fuel further instability.

We focus on three countries facing some of the world’s most severe hunger crises: Sudan, Palestine and Yemen. But others, including South Sudan, Somalia, the DRC and Afghanistan, are struggling too, and we must not forget them. ❤️

In this week’s Knowledge Corner post, we examine the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, and it’s worth asking what it has achieved, where it has fallen short, and what comes next.

Racism won’t end through declarations alone. It takes all of us: educating ourselves, speaking up, examining our own biases and backing inclusive policies and organisations. 🌎

Our attention goes where the media takes us; we mustn’t forget the other ongoing crises that the headlines ignore.

Right now in South Sudan, Yemen and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, millions of people are living through war, displacement and hunger with a fraction of the world’s attention. Mothers giving birth without shelter. Families fleeing by boat. Survivors of sexual violence waiting for justice that never comes.

These aren’t new crises. That’s exactly why they’ve been forgotten.
