Activist Special! What's so special about the Special Procedures?

CHOICE for Youth and Sexuality Season 2 Episode 5

Are you a young person interested in human rights mechanisms? Do you want to use the UN to address human rights issues in your work? Or simply curious about how to apply your research skills to human rights reporting?

Then look no further activist angels! In this Advocacy Special episode CHOICE sits down with Fabiana Leibl (ISHR) to spill the tea on all things Special Procedures and how youth activists get involved! We talk about what the Special Procedures are, how the reporting system works, and why it's important to de-mystify the UN and make it work for youth!
