This is a wiki on [[Wikipedia:youth rights|youth rights <sup>[Wikipedia link]</sup>]].

The wiki is in its early stages, contributions are '''''welcome'''''. You do ''not'' need an account to contribute and your IP address will ''not'' be publicly exposed if you do so.

== Motivation ==
Some intrinsic rights of young people are not respected. People don't seem to understand the implications.

We believe that young people deserve:
* [[dignity]],
* [[safety]],
* [[agency]],
* [[justice]],
* [[information and its protection]],
* [[freedom of thought and expression]],
* [[growth]],
* [[enjoyment of rights]],
* and [[Youth's moral rights|others]].

== Discrimination against young people ==

* [[coercive control]] including invasion of privacy, tracking, and denial of basic liberties
* [[age-based restrictions]] including [[teen curfews]] and bans on buying certain items
* [[social media bans]] and other forms of government interference with young people's personal development, well-being and access to information and support
* [[authoritarian schooling systems]] including [[school corporal punishment in the 21st century]] and [[school corporal punishment prior to the 21st century]], as well as the [[school to prison pipeline]]
* [[authoritarian parenting]] including [[parental corporal punishment in the 21st century]] and [[parental corporal punishment prior to the 21st century]]
* [[interference in young people's bodily autonomy]] including genital mutilation and withholding of basic medical and healthcare treatment
