The lecture is free and open to the public. Vipul Nishawala, a member of the Campus Y keynote speaker commit tee, said Young was the committee's clear choice for keynote speaker.

The children of South Africa are growing up in a society that has no respect for life, Hahyane said, Children play games about police raids, tear gas and funerals, he said. "They know no peace and no security." The government and the police threaten children's safety, Hahyane said, and children witness traumatic conditions. In a country that espouses freedom and democracy, 16 percent to 17 percent of all children under age 9 are political prisoners, he said.

The money for this and other Human Rights Week events will come from donations to the Campus Y, but the Union Forums Committee also sponsored the speech, Nishawala said.

"There have been a lot of calls to the Campus Y office asking about the event," she said. "There should be a good crowd." Young will inspire people and raise awareness of human rights, an often neglected subject.
