The United Nations Offices of WFWP Europe Launches Its Youth Initiative

This is to extend a warm invitation to you for our first panel discussion –The Youth Initiative Launch Talk by the United Nations Offices of Women’s Federation for World Peace International (WFWPI) in Geneva and Vienna. The Youth Initiative is one of our forward-looking initiatives to engage youth and empower them for their potential to influence peace-building and leadership processes with a focus on gender equality and other relevant themes. The Youth Initiative aims to nurture young innovation and vitality to work on important platforms and projects through partnership with international organization and their mandates, advocacy campaigns, research projects, skills training, fieldwork, and event management.

This panel discussion is our very first event, a youth-led event focusing on peacebuilding and security and the importance of the participation of young women and girls. The theme focuses on the UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2250 (2015) which identifies five key pillars for action: participation, protection, prevention, partnerships and disengagement, and reintegration. This landmark resolution urges Member States to give youth a greater voice in decision-making at the local, national, regional, and international levels and to consider setting up mechanisms that would enable young people to participate meaningfully in peace processes.
