Over the last four years, Christopher Harper has spent the majority of his time engaging children and young people on matters related to their human rights while advocating on their behalf, amplifying their voices and encouraging them to become positive agents of change. As someone who recognises the importance of and has benefitted from meaningful, sustainable and positive youth engagement, he appreciates the need to prioritise the voices of Jamaican youth. Harper has established himself as an attorney-at-law with a reputable background in research and writing, years of experience in project management, a strong work ethic and a high level of professionalism and diplomacy. Having recently completed a Master of Laws in human rights law at the Queen Mary, University of London, he has cemented his mission as an advocate committed to establishing an enabling environment within which the human rights of children, adolescents and youth are respected, protected and fulfilled. He remains steadfast in his efforts to understand the challenges that have restricted progress in many local, regional and international spaces and hopes to employ the strategies necessary to combat such issues. Throughout his life as an advocate and having worked in partnership with organisations such as the Jamaica Youth Advocacy Network (JYAN), the Caribbean Vulnerable Communities Coalition (CVC) and UNICEF Jamaica, Harper has been at the forefront of numerous human rights campaigns. He has also supported the work of the several civil society actors and ministerial departments and agencies, lobbied parliamentarians on the issues of legal reform and facilitated capacity building sessions with hundreds of young people on matters related to their human rights.
