	Youth rights movement in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The youth rights movement, also described as "youth liberation," is a nascent grass-roots movement whose aim is to fight against ageism (also known as adult chauvinism) and for the self-determination civil rights for persons "under the age of majority"-- 18 in most countries.
		Youth rights is different from children's rights, and the two movements are sometimes at odds with each other (again, for curious reasons).
		The children's rights movement advocates changes that are often restrictive, protection oriented, and paternalistic, that is, done for children rather than by children.

	Youth rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Youth rights refers to a set of philosophies intended to enhance civil rights for young people.
		As opposed to children's rights groups, which tend to advocate entitlements for young people and favor paternalistic handling of minors by government, youth rights organizers seek to enhance the role of young people in society through equal rights.
		These philosophies were espoused by John Caldwell Holt and others who have come to view society's treatment of children as hypocritical and anachronistic.

	Abused Child's & minors' rights are important Human Rights...
		The Convention on the Rights of the Child proves to be a document on the human rights of children with a touch of class.
		This National Child Rights Alliance article is an excellent overview of the forms of youth oppression, including an account of a child who's broken leg was treated without pain killer at his parents request.
		Perhaps a system does need to have an automatic point for adult rights to begin based on something as impersonal as age (except in special cases), but a more perfect system might see all people bringing their case for emancipation before a court before obtaining their "adult" rights.

	Convention on the Rights of the Child (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The human rights of children and the standards to which all governments must aspire in realizing these rights for all children, are most concisely and fully articulated in one international human rights treaty: the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
		It spells out the basic human rights that children everywhere — without discrimination — have: the right to survival; to develop to the fullest; to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life.
		The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the first legally binding international instrument to incorporate the full range of human rights — civil and political rights as well as economic, social and cultural rights.

	Abused Child's & minor's rights are important Human Rights...
		This National Child Rights Alliance article is an excellent overview of the forms of youth oppression, including a similar account (to the analogy at top) of a child who's broken leg was treated without pain killer at his parents request.
		Note, the Job Corps, and the military are a few of the good structured programs available to youth age 16-24, but there may even be another opportunity for young people of all ages, who are willing to get a job to help support themselves, in an alternative home.
		You may want to subscribe to the youth rights mailing list if you are interested in similar topics as this is where people talk about youth related issues (including the above example).

		The state threatens their churches with the imminent prospect of liquidation and denial of their right to worship as they choose, on the grounds that they have failed to register timely as religious organizations.
		Right now, what the religious community in Russia needs most is for President Putin to extend the deadline for registration, as I understand he can do by Executive Order.
		We must not allow Russian officials to continue to violate core human rights instruments that Russia has ratified — instruments that guarantee the right to religious freedom and articulate the importance of religious pluralism as a bedrock of any democracy.

		They are right of course, elderly rights folks have a longer and more extensive history of using that term than the youth rights movement does.
		Youth may be kidnapped and imprisoned in a gulag school all at the whim of their parents with complete sanction of law.
		If youth were to have any fewer rights, they would be forced to be on leashes, have to open doors for any adult present, and have to drink from a water hose instead of a fountain.

		In support of the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education, this youth organization is working on a human rights campaign to bring the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to youth through essay and art contests and by providing materials for students and teaching guides for schools.
		Youth for Human Rights International and the Human Rights Department of the Church of Scientology International co-organized this event to unite youth from around Europe in support of human rights under the banner of the free expression of art.

		On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus.

		The stories we don't hear are those where kids are repeatedly returned to their parents, by force, because of those antiquated property laws; or confined to institutions we don't have the stomach to show on the evening news.
		The idea of underground runaway youth shelters has come up as the only effective way we know to keep children hidden from authorities -- be it the cops, the courts or their parents -- and allow them the choice of avoiding the cycle of perpetual escape and recapture.
		The interesting element, when looking at youth activism, is a much higher penchant for direct action -- for kids taking power into their own hands.

		Fairfield hopes to attempt registering youth to vote to protest the voting age, and Johnstown hopes to mount a statewide campaign to lower the drinking age.

	U.S.: South Dakota Agrees to Respect Rights of Detained Youth (Human Rights Watch, 9-11-2000)
		Human Rights Watch welcomed the settlement, which would abolish the current practice of shackling youth in spread-eagled fashion as a form of punishment, known as "four-pointing." It would also strictly limit the placement of youth in isolation cells and would restrict the use of handcuffs on youth to times when they are being transported.
		The use of pseudonyms to identify youth is common in litigation, particularly when they remain in detention.
		In addition to "four-pointing" juvenile detainees, guards had routinely chained youth inside their cells and placed children in isolation twenty-three hours a day for extended periods of time, according to youth in detention and their parents.

		With malice and clear intent, violence is used against the members of society least able to protect themselves—children in school, in orphanages, on the street, in refugee camps and war zones, in detention, and in fields and factories.
		In its investigations of human rights abuses against children, Human Rights Watch has found that in every region of the world, in almost every aspect of their lives, children are subject to unconscionable violence, most often perpetrated by the very individuals charged with their safety and well-being.
		Millions have no access to education, work long hours under hazardous conditions, are forced to become soldiers, or languish in orphanages or detention centers where they endure inhumane conditions and daily assaults on their dignity.
