This thesis investigated factors influencing and motivating young adults to be, become and belong as human rights activists in Australia. The study found that belonging to a non-governmental organisation provides powerful opportunities for young people to participate in local, national and global citizenship practices. Findings also showed that having a high degree of social capital, financial support and political socialisation from their families influenced the capacity and agency of young people to be human rights activists. In addition, experiences involving partnerships between activists and those whose rights are being infringed provides an inclusive way of being a human rights activist.
