INTRODUCTION: Around the world there are laws and agreements that are meant to uphold the rights of young people. These include the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.It is idle to talk of civil liberties to adults who were systematically taught in adolescence that they had none; and it is sheer hypocrisy to call such people freedom loving.This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will... The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.YAA shall continue with the struggles for the rights of young people in all its forms through:

• The Rights of Youth Today - What Rights Youth Have Now, and discussions that insinuate what rights young people do not have.
• Defining Youth Rights - What Rights Violations Youth Experience, including censorship, curfews, economics, travel, voting, and more.
• History of the Youth Rights Movement - Covering the breadth of influences from the 20th century until today.
• The Youth Rights Movement - Who's fighting against corporal punishment, age-biased laws, and the further degradation of young peoples' power.
• Demanding Youth Rights - How Young People want to Change the Political Agenda, focusing on civil, economic, and legal rights for ALL young people.
• The Center for Youth Rights Research - Source for information on local, state and national youth-focused laws.

In many peoples' eyes, the constitutional rights of young people are undefined, and negotiable only within the context of the voting populace or by elected officials. However, many youth and adults believe that young people themselves should have a say in making the rules that govern their lives, in an honest, powerful, and purposeful way.In our nation we ought to have well defined and known to all two distinctive forms of youth rights:entitlement rights and civil rights.
Entitlement rights are rights that are "due" to people, giving people the ability to fulfill their other rights.These might include rights to:

• Employment, education, a certain level of income, a certain quality of housing, race and gender representation in the workplace, freedom from economic insecurity, and health care.

Civil rights guarantee the ability of individuals to carry out their rights. In Kenya, these rights are outlined in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Some of those rights include:

Freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and protection of those accused of crimes.
Among popular youth rights issues include Age Discrimination, Curfews, Drinking Age, Driving, Economics, Emancipation, Entertainment, Free Speech, and the Voting Age.
YAA opts to start programmes that include:

• Anti-Curfew
