.@UNYouthEnvoy “Young people are not only asking leaders to take actions but they’re taking actions themselves.” Recently publish report on European Youth organisations’ contribution to the #2030Agenda is showcasing exactly that ➡️➡️➡️ bit.ly/2Gj4eyy #Youth2030 #HLPF
As long as young people like #June2030 are considered "too young" to vote or stand for election, or "too inexperienced" to be involved in decision-making, progress towards #SDG16 will not be possible.

74 countries not allowing candidates under 30 years old to run for parliament @IPUparliament at #SDG16 review #HLPF2019.
➡️Exclusion of youth is a challenge for progress towards SDG16.
#Youth2030
As review of #SDG8 takes place at #HLPF2019, are we really on track to achieve full & productive employment and #decentwork for youth?
What would you choose if you were #June2030?

Dear European Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the future of the @coe cannot be defined without Youth! Do you know that increasing your contribution by only 10% can save the entire @coe including the Youth Department? #YouthForSale
#NoFutureWithoutYouth #NoEuropeWithoutYouth
ALT Dear Ministries of Foreign Affairs, spend 10% extra for Human Rights & Youth! An investment you really shouldn't refuse
Good to hear @SwedenUN for #WEOG say at #ILO100 that this would be particularly important for youth.
For a youth-inclusive #futureofwork, social partners must ensure strong youth voice and representation in inclusive social dialogue and collective bargaining.
Social dialogue & strong social partners are essential to managing a changing working life. We must continue to promote inclusive social dialogue & collective bargaining to reach all workers & employers.

After #EU2030 & ahead of #FutureofWorkEU, @CAutengruber, @TimmermansEU & @JoostKorte, join me in the @ilo challenge & share your views.
Happy to have had the chance to moderate this conversation at #SDGLive #Youth2030. And to hear @GuyRyder @ilo say that we need to create the #FutureOfWork we want through policy change.
We agree!

📣 Presentation of @Youth_Forum research on youth organisations' contribution to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at #RFSD2019 this morning! Youth orgs work towards all #SDGs in one way or another, they would like to do more but lack of funding is a main challenge
Good to hear about these important discussions @UNYouthEnvoy and @mbachelet! @Youth_Forum is happy to stand with you and count on your support #ForYouthRights.
@GeorgeKCharonis @SiljaMarkkula
Always a pleasure meeting High Commissioner @mbachelet aka 1 of my role models. #FanGirlMoment 😍 We discussed:
1⃣Advancing the discussion on #youthrights
2⃣Increasing @UNHumanRights capacity on #youthissues
3⃣Strategies 4 promoting human rights education in next 4 years
Very important points - thanks for raising this at #CSocD57!
Unpaid internships violate young people's rights & perpetuate inequalities - they put the achievement of #2030Agenda in jeopardy.
@Youth_Forum has taken legal action to address the issue in Belgium. #ForYouthRights
In our speech before the #CSocD57, we talked about how #ageism intersects with other forms of #discrimination, which means that ending discrimination needs #intersectional approaches. Also, unpaid #internships perpetuate existing #inequalities and should thus be abolished.
EU Member States use minimum income schemes to support most vulnerable populations, says @EU_Social at #CSocD57.
But in some EU countries, young people cannot access schemes because of age. Youth is also the group at greatest risk of poverty and social exclusion. Coincidence?
Gaps in #socialprotection not acceptable from human rights perspective & problematic for development, says @ValASchmitt @ILO at #CSocD57.
Young people face gaps, barriers & age-based discrimination in social protection systems - these must be addressed #ForYouthRights.
"Europe does better than other regions on reducing inequalities" says @RomaniaUN_NY for @EUatUN at #CSocD57. But recent @EU_Commission reflection paper "Towards a Sustainable Europe by 2030" recognises EU is moving away from #SDG10. More progress needed to address inequality.

Good news! Today, @EPSocialAffairs voted on its position on the European Social Fund Plus, a key step to #InvestInYouth and to prioritise social inclusion in the next #MFF! 👏 #EUbudget
