WHO WE ARE
RHN is a child and youth led advocacy platform aimed at raising awareness on issues affecting children in rural & urban communities in Liberia and amplifying the voices of youth and children in the fight against violence against children through the use of ICT. In 2017, YOCEL was among the four (4) partners selected by Kids Rights to implement the International Children Peace Prize 2015 Project fund to implement “Making children Voices Count (MCVC+) Project”. Through the project, a network coined “Right Holders Network-RHN was also formed, consisting of 20 passionate youth and children ages 15-25 involved in Child Rights Advocacy.
With Support Kids Rights and The Fund for Global Human Rights, YOCEL is working with these passionate children rights champions to strengthen their capacity, further boost their online engagement and empower them to actively engage in national policy advocacy through dialogues, campaigning, camps etc. around issues affecting children and youth in Liberia. The Right Holders Network also referred to as RHN is voluntary and also seeks to achieve the sustainable Development Goals 3, 4 and 16, which include, Good Health, and Well-Being; Quality Education and Peace and Justice respectively and it members use their skills and experience to achieving the network’s objectives. The network seeks to create an enabling environment that prohibits every act that is against the rights of the child and every child or young person in Liberia is provided equal opportunity to compete and or participate in the progress of their future and country at large.
