 ‘Be the change’ we desperately need, UN deputy chief urges global youth

 UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed addressing the Africa Youth Development Summit, in Johannesburg, South Africa.

SDGs

Young people are the leaders and torchbearers the world “desperately needs” but they also face serious challenges when it comes to realizing their potential, the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General has said.

 Addressing the African Youth Development Summit, in South Africa’s Johannesburg, Amina J. Mohammed said that young people “are seeing their pathways to participation blocked and their rights denied.”

 “[The youth] know that for the sake of their future, we need to transform our economies and embrace new, sustainable patterns of production and consumption,” she added, noting that perhaps most damaging of all, “young people are witnessing the manmade destruction of our natural environment.”

 Ms. Mohammed, however, added that with the global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union’s Agenda 2063, road maps exist for socio-economic transformations that can unite people and drive change at all levels.

 And Young people are key to ensuring that happens.

 “The Africa We Want will not be possible without the full participation and of Africa’s young people, particularly those who face barriers – including young women and girls,” said the UN deputy chief.

 I am counting on you to be the change agents and torchbearers that we so desperately need – Ms. Mohammed, to young people

 Youth2030, the UN Youth Strategy

In her remarks, the Deputy Secretary-General highlighted the UN’s work with and for the world’s youth, including the recently launched Youth2030, the Organization’s Youth Strategy, as well as the role of Jayathma Wickramanayake, the Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Youth.

 On the specifics of Youth2030, Ms. Mohammed spoke of programmes focusing on climate action; education and health; as well as campaigns promoting better sexual and reproductive health, and menstrual health; noting that the latter had “been a taboo subject for far too long.”

 Lack of support for menstrual health can keep girls out of school and the workplace and out of leadership roles, with devastating consequences that can last lifetimes and across generations as well as leading to discrimination and marginalization of women and girls, said the Deputy Secretary-General.

 “Educating both girls and boys about menstruation as a normal biological process is the first step towards addressing these issues,” she highlighted.

 Be the change

Concluding her remarks, Ms. Mohammed, had a message for youth everywhere.

 She said that she is “counting” on them to be the change agents and torchbearers “that we so desperately need.”

 “The dignity that we want for our young women and men begins with each and every one of us. It will be a journey, the outcome of which will depend on how you travel that road to 2030,” she said.

One thinks that she will be a politician the other can't spell

This 14 year old says: "We won't stand around waiting until we get in power..REALLY who said that you will get in power.
Go back to school and complete your education then maybe you start sprouting off about things and try your luck in politics.

 

You can skip school to protest but you can't SPELL!!!!!!

 

The teachers should hang their heads in shame...Kids need to be at school learning

Came across this interview with protestors from the climate change march in Melbourne.

The interviewer from Australian News wasn't pushy just asked simple questions and one person interviewed stated that he "should know" because he was a scientist but he couldn't answer the questions put to him...Hello

Towards the end of the clip two female coppers told the interviewer he had to leave because a couple of people made a complaint.

With all the crime in Melbourne you would think that the coppers had better things to do.

Not one person interviewed had a positive answer put by the interviewer.

Then on the project on Friday evening November 30, 2018 the panel interviewed a 14 years, yes a 14 year old who knows it all about climate change.

The teachers and some parents need to be held accountable especially where kids are out protesting instead of being at school and getting the education that is available to them.

Protest on a Saturday then you won't miss school, oh sorry the teachers wouldn't want that because it would probably interfere with their weekend.

Not one panel member on the project mentioned anything about skipping school so it demonstrates their thoughts on education.

Another thing that these school kids need to learn is respect whether you like him or not the Prime Minister be respected and called "scomo" no respect at all.
