INTRODUCTION:
Welcome to our huge
information center on youth rights, called the Survey of North American
Youth Rights, or SNAYR. The SNAYR is the most comprehensive database
of information on youth rights available today.
 POINTS TO PONDER: "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."
-
Edgar Friedenberg, The Dignity of Youth and Other Atavisms
"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." - Fredrick Douglass (1857).
RESOURCES: We
include organizations, publications, and personal
websites from around the
United States and Canada about the continuing struggle for the rights of
young people rights in all its forms.
