Women Deliver 2023 by the Make Way youth delegation

From 17 to 20 of July, the Women Deliver Conference 2023 took place in Kigali, Rwanda under the theme of “Solidarity, Spaces, and Solutions.” The 4-day conference welcomed grassroots advocates, multilateral governments, the private sector, philanthropies – and – youth from all around the world, who advocate for gender equality.

Twelve youth panel members of the Make Way programme from five East African countries, themselves youth advocates with compounded vulnerabilities, also participated in the conference. Check out this video and see why they think youth participation is so important in these spaces, and what important lessons they have learned.

English subtitles are available.
