As a means to ensure that young people’s voices reach world’s key decision-making spaces we are proud to lead the ‘My Letter, My Voice’ campaign. After surveying multiple young people across different sectors, and countries it was found out that most of them feel that their participation is rather tokenistic instead of it being authentic.
To add to this many youth are unable to access these spaces let alone lend a voice and this can happen due to multiple reasons such as financial constraints, lack of funding or visa issues that hinders these dialogues from getting a global perspective. In order to bridge these white spaces and bring about young people at the core of these discussions we have the ‘My Letter My Voice’ campaign it ensures young people are able to share their thoughts openly. This campaign allows young people to write a letter to a world leader of their choice and make sure their experiences are taken into account and that they are represented.
This unique campaign allows young people from across the world to submit their personal opinions, perspectives and suggestions on what they believe should change in a focus area of their choice it can talk about any of the seventeen sustainable development goals. The letters are collated and so far have been presented to world leaders at various pivotal global forums and spaces of decision making including UNGA, UN CSW, HLPF, WEF among others.
