The project "Empowering University Youth to Advance the Human Rights of Young People from Vulnerable Groups", whose short name is the "Rights Project", aims to empower university students in the context of discrimination and human rights within the scope of the European Union's European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (DIHAA) program.

The project, carried out by the Youth Services Center Association (GSM), Mardin Joint Women's Cooperation Association (MOKİD) and Uğur Mumcu Investigative Journalism Foundation (um:ag), will continue for 36 months on the basis of equality and zero discrimination through online and face-to-face activities. It aims to establish bonds among university students of the age group.

The Council of Europe sees the empowerment of young people on human rights as a safeguard against the rise of violence, racism, extremism, xenophobia, discrimination and intolerance. The Rights Project, which was created within this scope, works with young people in order to develop and spread the culture of human rights in society, creating democratic spaces for them to make their voices heard. The Rights Project, whose face-to-face events will be held in Ankara, Diyarbakir, Hatay, Istanbul, Izmir, Mardin and Mersin, has two separate target groups: non-governmental organizations working with young people and university students in the 18-25 age group.
