If you are aged under 18, you have your own set of human rights. Child rights are unique freedoms and protections designed for you. Governments should uphold them but all across the world they are violated. Know Your Rights and Claim Them gives you the knowledge and tools to claim your rights. It introduces them and explains why they matter in the real world. From gender and racial equality, to the rights to free expression, health, a clean climate and a sustainable environment, they are yours to claim.
Know Your Rights and Claim Them celebrates the difference young activists have made in every corner of the world and shows you how to challenge injustice wherever you may find it. It presents expert advice on peaceful protest, raising awareness at school and in your community, starting your own campaign and getting those in power to listen, plus vital guidance on protecting your safety, digital security and mental health.
These are your rights. It is your right to know and claim them.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Known for her activism as well as her blockbuster movies, Angelina Jolie has teamed up with human-rights lawyer Geraldine Van Bueren for a practical and inspirational handbook for any young person who wants to make a difference. Using easy-to-follow language, Jolie and Van Bueren start with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, explaining the rights that the treaty grants to kids all over the world (though it’s notable that the United States is the only nation not to ratify the treaty). From there, Jolie and fellow narrators Ariyon Bakare and Daisy Head use their soothing and knowledgable voices to walk us through sound advice on protesting and running a campaign, and even what to do if you're sprayed with teargas. Drawing on real accounts of young activists—like a 13-year-old Palestinian girl who became the world’s youngest press card–carrying journalist—Know Your Rights and Claim Them helps young people seize the power to make a better world.
