\u201cCosta Rica inspired the peace agreements that ended the Cold War in Central America, bringing stability to our region,\u201d says Vargas, Executive Director of Youth for Human Rights Costa Rica. It is a beautiful country\u2014a veritable paradise. But 22 percent of the population lives in poverty and human trafficking victims as young as 5 are sold into slavery in the sex trade. \u201cThis is the real Costa Rica,\u201d he says,\u00a0\u201cbut there\u2019s hope. Human Rights is the answer. And my goal is to bring tolerance and peace through education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vargas put himself through school to become a lawyer so he could help restore rights to those for whom they had been denied.\u00a0But progress was slow. And when he learned of Youth for Human Rights International, he realized this program contained the necessary component for raising the quality of life across his nation.\u00a0Youth for Human Rights International educates people on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And uninformed people who don\u2019t know their rights are easily abused.<\/p>\n

Youth for Human Rights International materials<\/a>\u00a0help people of all ages understand the 30 rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Creating a world where human rights are known and protected starts with effective educational programs that reach across all cultural and geographic boundaries.<\/p>\n

Beginning his work with Youth for Human Rights in 2014, Vargas embarked on a campaign to educate the entire nation on human rights\u2014from farmhands to kids, whether attending school or living on the streets.<\/p>\n

His drive to infuse human rights into Costa Rican culture scored when the national soccer federation joined his team, promoting human rights on a massive scale.<\/p>\n

Vargas\u2019 work has resulted in an important milestone. With the help of Youth for Human Rights International<\/a> and the support of the Church of Scientology Mission of Costa Rica<\/a>, in August 2021, the\u00a0Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica passed into law a bill mandating human rights education in schools throughout the country.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard\u2019s words that \u201cHuman rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream,\u201d the Church of Scientology and Scientologists support\u00a0Youth for Human Rights<\/a>\u00a0and make its educational materials available free of charge. For more information, watch a documentary on\u00a0the history and activities of Youth for Human Rights International<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0\u201cVoices for Humanity<\/a>\u201d on the\u00a0Scientology Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader\u00a0Mr. David Miscavige<\/a>, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Broadcast from\u00a0Scientology Media Productions<\/a>, the Church\u2019s global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and can be streamed at\u00a0Scientology.tv<\/a>, on\u00a0mobile apps<\/a>\u00a0and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.<\/p>\n
