Motivation
[edit | edit source]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,
- fairness,
- information,
- privacy,
- freedom of thought and expression,
- growth,
- enjoyment of rights,
- and other issues.
Discrimination against young people
[edit | edit source]- 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
