👥 The UN Youth Strategy 👥
💼 Today, the world is home to the largest number of young people in human history. The UN has developed a strategy for and with youth in all its three pillars of peace and security, human rights, and sustainable development.
🌱 The strategy seeks to increase the impact and scale of efforts at the global, regional, and country levels to address the needs of youth. It builds capacity and empowers young people in all their diversity around the world. It also ensures youth participation in the implementation, review, and follow-up of the 2030 Agenda and other agendas and frameworks.
There are several priorities:
⚡️ Involvement, Participation, and Advocacy: Increase the role of youth for peace, justice, and environmental security on our planet
⚡️ Lay the foundation for awareness and health: support youth in gaining better access to quality education and health care.
⚡️ Economic empowerment through decent work: improve access of young people to decent and productive employment.
⚡️ Youth and human rights: protect and promote young people's rights and support their civic and political participation.
⚡️Peace and resilience - to provide support to young people as catalysts for peace, security, and humanitarian action.
