Human rights are for everyone, but some groups do not get access to them equally. Why is this and what can be done? 
Alma-Constance and Lucinda talk to Sultana Tafadar KC and her 11 year old daughter Safiyah, who tell us about their work and why they set up the Girls Human Rights Hub and:

·      why Sultana chose to work as a human rights lawyer.

·      how human rights protect children in criminal cases.

·      why girls need special protection and that boys can be involved too.

·      why they launched Girls Human Rights Hub and what it provides.

·      how law can be used to achieve equality through education, advocacy and litigation. 

 When Sultana was 10 years old, fairness, equality and justice were important to her and she always wanted to be a lawyer. 
Safiyah hopes to be a human rights lawyer when she grows up because it's important to stand up for people who don't have a voice against people who do, and to help make the world more just.
