Youth advocacy is reshaping how gender justice is discussed, defended, and imagined.
Across the Global South, young people are organizing in their communities, challenging harmful norms, and bringing lived realities into spaces where decisions are made.
Check out a featured story on
@HiluxFokou by
@Fos_Feminista!
In
#Bertoua,
#Cameroon, he has worked with boys and young men to open conversations about gender, violence, care, and equality. As part of
@IamMifali, an adolescent and young women-led feminist movement mentored by
@WfacCmr , he has supported grassroots initiatives on comprehensive sexuality education and responses to gender-based violence.
In 2024, at 20 years old, and with Fรฒs Feministaโs support, Hilux attended the
@UN_CSW in person, after following the process virtually for three years. There, he brought community-rooted perspectives into a global advocacy space.
Through Advocacy in Practice, Fรฒs Feminista supports young advocates from the Global South with tools, knowledge, and language to engage in regional and global decision-making spaces.
Because adolescents and young people do not only need to be represented. They need information, care, autonomy, and the power to shape the policies that affect their lives.
