Upon returning from the 2019 Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) summit, which concluded last Saturday in New York, one of the two delegates who represented Guyana, is planning to raise more awareness about human rights with the help of YHRI Guyana members.
YHRI is a youth body which falls under United for Human Rights, which is a non-profit international organisation dedicated to implementing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at local, regional, national and international levels. The membership comprises individuals, educators and groups throughout the world who are actively forwarding the knowledge and protection of human rights by and for all mankind.
Shazam Somwar and Steven Singh represented the Guyana branch of YHRI at the 16th annual International Human Rights Summit, which began on June 27th and concluded on Saturday at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
