Young people are on the frontlines of many of the world’s human rights crises, but it’s all too rare that we get to hear their perspectives. The second edition of Youth Producing Change shares 10 powerful stories from young filmmakers across the globe as they turn a camera on their own lives and share their visions of change. One of the films focuses on Leila in Burkina Faso who is sold into slavery by her parents. Further information can be found here or by emailing ypclondon@hrw.org.
