Voices of Change: Youth Activism at the UN

Young people, who make up over 1.2 billion of the world’s population, are not just “leaders of tomorrow” — they are driving change today, often in the face of defamation, repression, and gender-based violence. Yet in Geneva, where governments gather to shape human rights agendas, youth voices remain largely absent. This project tells the stories of the few young activists who have broken through these barriers, capturing their resilience and determination to challenge entrenched systems and claim their rightful place on the global stage.
