The following videos are from Youth for Human Rights International which has a series of ad's to promote human rights, all of which can be viewed on their website. YHRI's focus is to teach the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to young people everywhere so that they know and insist on their rights and those of others.

I must admit I quite like the approach on this one. How do you explain to children that we fought so long ago to rid the world of slavery, and that it not only still exists today, but is bigger and still growing? Sadly it is a question we should not have to answer, but it is one which we must. We must teach children the roots of slavery and we must teach them how we failed…to see what needs to be done to eradicate it once and for all. Children are the future, and they have the power to change it!
