Hundreds of teenagers from New York schools on Wednesday descended on UN Headquarters to discuss mental health, education, homelessness and systematic racism, as part of the build up to this weekend\u2019s 75th anniversary of Human Rights Day.<\/p>\n<p>The event, organized by the UN human rights office (OHCHR) and the New York City Commission on Human Rights, was a call to action to youth. \u201cPositive change is possible when we unite in action. By being here, you\u2019re responding to the call for action,\u201d Ilze Brands Kehris, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, told more than 500 students attending the event. She noted that in today\u2019s polarized world, change won\u2019t happen without the creativity and energy of young people. \u201cThe passion, energy and innovation in your thinking are the catalysts,\u201d she noted. \u201cYou\u2019re not only the leaders of tomorrow, you\u2019re the leaders of today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the event, students presented research they compiled to highlight the challenges created by a lack of funding for mental health programmes, a lack of diversity in education, systematic racism, and specific challenges faced by homeless youth. In addition to presentations, students from the non-profit People\u2019s Theatre Project, performed \u201cTake it Seriously\u201d, a series of scenes showing how mental health stressors impact high-school students. These include stress from peers, stress due to family members, and stress resulting from the media and pop culture.<\/p>\n<p>During the discussions, one of the students noted a lack of sufficient funding for mental support services in school. Another pointed to the impact of systematic racism against young students. Discussions also touched on rising fees for public schools, and how students can be denied access to drop-in homeless shelters to sleep there overnight. \u201cChildren shouldn\u2019t have to change for the system. The system should change for them,\u201d one student said.<\/p>\n<p>Youth representatives (left to right) Kennedy Iwule, Tabassum Rahman, Elinor Hershkowitz, Jahzara Wilson, take part in a human rights event.
