Fresh from the 20th annual Human Rights Summit, hosted by Timor-Leste at UN headquarters, Demme Durrett, co-director of Youth for Human Rights USA, and Emma Ashton Sims, executive director of United for Human Rights and Youth for Human Rights International, unpack why human rights education drives their work.
