This International Youth Day, UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem calls for more intergenerational solidarity to address the world’s daunting challenges.

Together, let’s build a world where everyone at any age has rights, choices and opportunities to fulfill their potential and promise: https://unf.pa/iyd22

Young people are leading the way on global concerns from climate change to gender equality, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. They have the right to make choices about their bodies and lives.

Yet it’s true that they cannot always realize their rights. UNFPA pledges to do everything we can to act with young people on the challenges they face. We stand with them in their fight to claim the world they imagine - and deserve.
