Voices of Amnesty: Recent Episodes
Voices of Amnesty
Voices of Amnesty is a project run by members of the Amnesty Youth Leadership Committee. Throughout this podcast, we’ll have a look at a range of human rights issues through a younger, different lens by discussing and clarifying them with youth activists within the community. To inspire change in people, you need to be educated about issues and a path forward to helping them, and that’s what we’re aiming to provide in this podcast. Understanding complex, far-reaching issues of human rights is a difficult thing to do, but Voices of Amnesty is here to help make that easier for you.
