掃除文盲十年
(2003~2012)
Youth for Human Rights World Educational Tour 2012, in honor of the United Nations Literacy Decade (2003-2012), circled the globe 27,944 miles to countries including Cameroon, Ethiopia, Japan, Liberia, Mexico, Taiwan, Togo and the USA.
The purpose of YHRI is to teach youth about human rights, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and inspire them to become advocates for tolerance and peace. The UDHR was signed into existence in 1948 and the United Nations General Assembly called upon all member countries "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories." Unfortunately, in more than six decades, very few people have heard about this important document or know what their human rights and responsibilities are.
Mary Shuttleworth, Ed.D., founder and president of YHRI, has led the annual global outreach project circling the globe each year since 2004, visiting approximately 80 countries and meeting with youth, educators, community leaders, and legislators as well as various dignitaries, including kings, heads of government and officials of the United Nations and Commonwealth of Nations to promote the implementation of Human Rights Education.
國際人權2012年世界教育巡迴之旅，為了聯合國掃除文盲十年（2003-2012）活動巡迴各國總共27,944英里，包括喀麥隆、衣索比亞、日本、賴比瑞亞、墨西哥、台灣、多哥，以及美國。
YHRI的目的是為了教育青少年何謂人權，特別是聯合國世界人權宣言，並且鼓勵他們去提倡寬容與和平。聯合國世界人權宣言簽署成立於1948年，同時，聯合國大會也呼籲每個會員國「無論其政治情況為何，應在各級學校及教育機構裡傳播、張貼、研讀及解說其內容。」不幸的是，已經過了六十年，卻很少人聽說過這份重要的宣言文件，更不曉得他們的人權和責任為何。
國際青少年人權協會創辦者及董事長，瑪莉‧薛德華茲教育博士，從2004年開始，執行年度全球外展計畫，每年都會環遊世界，一共拜訪了約80個國家，並且會見青年、教育家、社區領袖、立法委員及許多政要。這些包括國王、政府高層以及聯合國及大英國協的高級官員，其目的就是要促進人權教育的實施。
