Event Details
About the Event:
Ahead of the sixty-eighth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68), five of our Youth Policy-Makers Hub (YPH) members have combined the diverse perspectives and suggestions of youth (ages 18-35) in the province of Ontario to present recommendations for engaging youth in discussions relating to poverty and financing, through a lens of gender inclusion.
In this session, YPH members will take us through the challenges faced by young people voicing their opinions on poverty and financing, exploring strategies for youth engagement and empowerment, in alignment with the United Nations Youth 2030 Strategy. Our discussion will also touch upon strengthening institutions and services available to youth to effectively address poverty.
Join us for this virtual discussion to help bridge the gap between global leaders and young voices.
The key questions presented to the youth participants were:
- In your opinion, what are the main challenges to youth and adolescent voice and agency in poverty and financing discussions?
- What strategies do you think young people can use to influence poverty and financing discussions?
- How do you think institutions and services available to youth can be strengthened or transformed to address poverty?
- As global leaders meet this March 2024 at the CSW68 in UN Headquarters in New York, to discuss gender equality, poverty, and financing, how would you like them to engage with young people on these issues?
