Angelina Jolie, known for her advocacy work alongside her career in film, has co-authored a guidebook for young people on human rights, now available at a 40% discount on Amazon. The book, Know Your Rights and Claim Them, was created in collaboration with human rights lawyer Geraldine Van Bueren and Amnesty International.
The Book’s Core Message
The guide aims to educate children aged six to 18 about their rights as defined by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It covers fundamental freedoms such as bodily autonomy and the right to peaceful protest. A core element is an “activist’s toolkit,” designed to empower youth to organize, raise their voices, and campaign for change.
Expert Approval
The book has received endorsements from Malala Yousafzai, who described it as “a guide for every young person who believes in a better world for all.” Early reviews from parents on Amazon are overwhelmingly positive, with many citing the clear and accessible language as a key benefit. One reviewer wrote, “My child is definitely going to learn a lot from this book…Hopefully, this book will spread and growth in human rights can be had.”
Why This Matters
This book arrives at a moment when youth activism is on the rise globally. From climate strikes to movements for racial justice, young people are increasingly engaged in political and social change. Know Your Rights and Claim Them provides a structured foundation for understanding their rights and how to exercise them effectively. The price point of $15 makes it an accessible resource for families interested in promoting human rights education.
The book is now available for $15 on Amazon, down from its original price.
