LAST YEAR'S APYN CAMPAIGN
Asia Pacific Youth Network activity to (((Demand Dignity)))


Young people from different countries in the Asia Pacific region including Australia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines and Thailand etc stand together to Demand Dignity on 30 May 2009!
In a world where 1 billion people live in slums our call is simple: More Human Rights = Less Poverty.  With over thirty activities on 30 May, activists under the age of thirty years act together to amplify their demands for dignity for all.
Today, we are using people power, to tackle the human rights abuses that drive and deepen poverty, so that those imprisoned by poverty are empowered to change their own lives.
Youth activists in Tokyo gathered in Yoyogi park where an Earth Day NGO fair was taking place. We encouraged people to amplify their Voices on business cards about what dignity means to them.
