During the PBC Meeting on #Youth4Peace at the 3rd Annual CSO-UN Dialogue on Peacebuilding, GNWP's #YoungWomenLead Bangladesh🇧🇩 Machen Hla Rakhine urged MS to:
🤝 Build partnerships
👥 Create Youth & CSO Advisory Boards
💰 Expand youth peacebuilding financing
🙋♀️ Leverage WPS + YPS
Key takeaway: The goal isn’t to merge WPS & YPS.
It’s to create synergies that reinforce each other—entry points for coherent, community-responsive peacebuilding & future CSO–UN agenda-setting.

Ten years into the #YPS agenda, I’m reminded that young people have always been knowledge producers, peacebuilders. Here's a little word-vomit of reflections: www.linkedin.com/pulse/10-yea...
#YPS10 #Youth4Peace
🌍 A decade after #UNSC Resolution 2250 put YPS on the map, we spoke with 5 young UNOY advocates who helped make it happen.
They shared the stories, persistence and collective energy that reveal what it truly takes to shift global agendas💪
