GNWP wishes you a Happy International Youth Day!
In this celebratory podcast episode of GNWP Talks, Shivi Thakur and Eliza Beckerman-Lee, two Global Network of Women Peacebuilders interns, sit down with Sophia Garcia, Bianca Pabotoy, and Lynrose Jane D. Genon, three long-time members of GNWP’s Young Women for Peace and Leadership program to talk about the role of youth — especially young women — in the peacebuilding process.
Sophia, Bianca, and Lynrose, all based in the Philippines, recently spoke on a series of panels at the High-Level Political Forum at the UN about their work engaging young women in issues of peace and security. In the spirit of International Youth Day we continued this discussion and listened to what else these young women had to say about the importance of increasing the presence of young people on the global stage!
