Amnesty International Nepal and Youth Membership
Amnesty International Nepal has been enhancing human rights impact by advancing the central participation of young people in the protection and promotion of human rights for all; by engaging them in upholding universal human rights values, by empowering them to take action in their local communities, and by integrating them at all levels of its organization. For this purpose, AI Nepal had decided to issue “Youth Network Membership” since November 2007. Post which, Amnesty Nepal has formed various Youth Networks of such Youth Members across the country. For the purposes of the AI, youth is defined as those aged 14-25.
