Young People Highlight Local Human Rights Issues
7 October 2015
We are reporting to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva today highlighting the human rights issues in Northern Ireland.
Check out our video on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child:
A group of young people recently visited the Commission and gave us their views on the transfer test, age discrimination and how to improve mental health care.
Why not let us know your views on what the most important rights issues are facing children & young people in Northern Ireland today.
Or you can send us your pictures or clips on this issue by 10 November 2015 We will be showcasing them on 20 November 2015 Universal Children’s Day.
