In the light of youth to youth approach, the human rights will be promoted through powerful stories produced by young people, screened to schools, universities and the general public, followed by a wide-ranging national awareness campaign. The principle objective of the festival is to empower youth in attitudinal, structural, and cultural strengths in order to stimulate positive changes and responses to human rights violations through the film and supportive activities.
