Meet our human rights youth ambassadors

In 2008, the Commission appointed 11 inspiring young people as human rights ambassadors to raise awareness of the Charter.

Each of our ambassadors offered unique insight into human rights issues in the Victorian community and helped make the Charter real and relevant to young Victorians. The ambassadors worked with the Commission until the end of April 2009 on a range of activities, including speaking about human rights within their existing community groups and networks, and developing individual projects to promote the Charter.

The young people represent diverse communities and were nominated by the following organizations: Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY), The ALSO Foundation, Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC), Youth Affairs Council of Victoria Inc (YacVic), Youth Disability Advisory Service (YDAS).

The youth ambassadors were Uyen Nguyen, Mario Filintatzis, Demetrio Zema, Thom Woodroofe, Claudia Stapledon, Cassandra Devine, Marci Disanayake, Lucas Ryan, Rahab Mousslimani, David Vincent and Francis Ventura.
