In a world where conflict dominates headlines and human rights fall victim to spin, censorship and competing agendas, a global summit at the UN gave young delegates the mic—and a mission.

Psychiatrists push for electroshock on children—even as global bodies condemn it, courts rebuke it and victims recount the brain damage it leaves behind.
