THE YOUNG HUMANITARIANS HANDBOOK 6 Who are the Compact for Young People in Humanitarian Action? The Compact for Young People in Humanitarian Action (often referred to as the Youth Compact) is a group of over 60 organisations. [...] As a young humanitarian you have a role in influencing the humanitarian response plans to ensure that the needs of young people and the communities you work with are reflected accurately. [...] The majority of the young people have not completed high school or university, and most have no access to paid employment, and are only allowed by the government to leave the camps for a limited number of hours a day. [...] THE YOUNG HUMANITARIANS HANDBOOK 43 This is why it is really important for you to be aware of and have the language and confidence to advocate and take action to support your own well-being, mental and physical health. [...] WHAT IS PROTECTION? “A responsibility entailing restoration of the most basic of rights to the people affected” Put simply, this means the right to life, to live free from torture or discrimination and to have human dignity and the ability to look after your family.
