The Young People’s Human Rights Medal is awarded to an individual who is under the age of 25 years (on 30 September 2013) and who has made an outstanding contribution to advancing human rights in Australia.
Patrick & Lesley Francis – Joint Finalists
Patrick, 21, and Lesley, 23, are an inspiring brother and sister team who promote awareness of autism, intellectual disability, cultural and linguistic diversity through their art exhibitions, books and poems. Together they are advocates for Absolutely Awetistic Arts, a non-profit organisation specialising in visual and performing arts for individuals with special needs. Patrick and Lesley hope to not only provide people with disabilities from multicultural backgrounds the opportunity for artistic expression, but also to contribute to the development of a community which encourages social inclusion, multiculturalism, acceptance, respect and recognition for individuals with a disability.
