The HRYO - Human Rights Youth Organization is non-profit,
non-governmental organisation founded in Palermo in 2009 with
the aim to strengthen the Human Rights at a local and global
level.
Vision:
The Human Rights Youth Organization believes in a world gover-
ned by peace and mutual understanding. We see education as
an essential aspect towards creating a reality that promotes and
protects human dignity, all aspects of equality and sustainability.
As an organization we see the importance in supporting local
action and developing the potential of a single human being, for
small changes lead to big process.
Mission:
Our mission is to facilitate, through various means, the fulfilment
of Human Rights and establish an international network of or-
ganisations and individuals who are actively contributing to their
local context.
We seek to actively work towards a culture of peace by promoting
and taking part in non-violent action towards the liberation from
oppression in any form. While taking action we promote, encou-
rage and celebrate the value of diversity of people in society.
