The violent and illegal occupation of Tibet by the People's Republic of China (PRC) must never be forgotten. At a political level, TYAE is therefore doing everything in its power to improve the human rights situation in Tibet and to fight for a free Tibet. With national and international protest actions and campaigns, lobbying, meetings with parliamentarians, political initiatives, panel discussions, action camps, the organisation of youth parliaments, international solidarity rallies and cross-movement actions, TYAE works on various platforms to represent the demands of the oppressed Tibetan people in public in the West and at the same time to strengthen the political awareness of Tibetan youth.
