Benjie Allen Dela Pasion AQUINO
Youth Delegate
Philippines
I have been an activist for almost ten years. I started with leading the student movement and now I am working towards a law degree hoping to focus on international human rights law when I practice. I have worked with a legal-focused non-governmental organization with a focus on providing legal assistance to indigents, human rights defenders, and seeking accountability for the victims of the administration’s so called “War on Drugs.” I also worked with a youth-led NGO focusing on fighting disinformation. As a young activist myself, I believe that our hope for stronger democracies rests on young activists who bring new and fresh ideas into the movement.
