Advocacy for Youth by Youth
Governments aren’t on track to deliver on what the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promised they’d reach by 2030, especially as they affect adolescent health and well-being. That’s why we partnered with young activists in seven countries to help them dial up the pressure and lobby for change. Together, did we make a difference?
In this special report, we’ll tell you about the project, highlight the most pressing issues adolescents face and put a spotlight on why the world is lagging in meeting the SDGs.
