Mobilising the global movement #ForYouthRights
Between 5-7 November 2019, the European Youth Forum (YFJ), the International Coordination Meeting of Youth Organisations (ICMYO), and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) co-organised the event “Mobilising the global youth movement #ForYouthRights”. The meeting brought together more than 20 youth representatives from Regional Youth Platforms (RYPs) and International Non-Governmental Youth Organisations (INGYOs), as well as OHCHR officers working at national and regional level, to discuss current work and next steps to build a global movement #foryouthrights.
This report provides an overview of the discussions held during the event, the main conclusions from the participants, and potential steps forward.
