Welcome to our site!
When we registered in the 2009 Doors to Diplomacy Competition, we immediately noticed the social issues category. We are both passionate defenders of Human Rights and we are really interested in educating and letting everyone know what is happening around the world.
International Human Rights is a very complex issue and involves lots of explaining. This is what we tried to achieve; we tried to explain what Human Rights Law is in a simple and coherent way.
We think that to understand the atrocities that are being committed in many countries in the world, we need to know what is guaranteed to us by International Law. We all have the duty to find out what those rights are. We have the moral duty to defend them, and spread the word to others that don’t know, particularly young people like us.
We live in a world where everyone is supposed to be protected and have equal rights, but sadly this is not a reality in many corners of the Earth. Uganda is one of these corners. About a year ago, we saw the documentary Invisible Children, and we were able to see the injustices and the violence that is present in Uganda.

This touched our hearts and it is time to spread the word and do something about it.
Our purpose is to help young people understand what is right and what is wrong; to let the world know that rights which are assured to us by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are being routinely denied to civilians.
We also want everyone to know that violating the rights of a child is one of the worst realities that exist in our world. There are many ways that we can all contribute to spreading the word and helping the cause.
Get educated, learn, and stick around to find out more!
