SURVIVOR-ADVOCATES
Children and young people with lived experience of injustice are experts on both the devastating impact of failing to realise everyone's right to freedom, safety and education, and the changes or interventions needed to deliver these rights for all. Survivor-advocates are central to the Justice for Africa campaign, not only to share their testimony but to actively shape national campaign demands and lead discussions with policy-makers.

STUDENT-ACTIVISM
Students have a long and proud history of standing against injustice, from liberation movements, to anti-Apartheid campaigns to modern fights against dictatorship, police brutality and gender-based violence. Student activists and their representative organisations at the national and local level are central to the Justice for Africa campaign, leveraging their knowledge, existing political connections and mobilising their membership to demand an end to the rising discrimination against Africa that is undermining the right to education across the continent.

YOUTH-LED ACTION
Physical demonstrations of demand are a key part of movement building, providing a unique opportunity to make visible hidden injustices and unite with likeminded people to express shared anger, determination and hope for change. The youth-led actions of the Justice for Africa campaign are bold and creative in their pursuit for a fairer world, engaging marginalised young people, local community leaders and national decision-makers.

UNITY WRISTBANDS
Justice for Africa is movement that spans communities, countries and even continents. Youth and student activists lead their own national strategies, which results in a variety of different policy demands or actions to advance the campaign in their specific context. To demonstrate our shared aim of ending the rising injustices experienced by Africa's young people, activists designed a wristband for everyone to wear a symbol of our unity.

SOLIDARITY
Injustice against Africa does not magically appear in a vacuum, but is a direct result of historic and modern actions by richer countries that has created an international system that benefit them at the expense of others. Justice for Africa is led by African youth and student activists with important solidarity from their peers in the Global North, a powerful demonstration of internationalism and global collective action for a world where every young person has their right to education fulfilled, regardless of where they were born.
