Mission

Implementing HRW's mission to defend human rights, STF helps youth build a foundation for human rights, raises awareness about children's rights violations, and develops young leaders and advocates to become instrumental voices for social justice around the world.

What We Do

Human Rights Watch Student Task Force (STF), launched in 1999, is a youth leadership-training program that brings together high school students and educators and empowers them to advocate for human rights issues, especially the rights of children.
