In this blog post for Population Matters, Victoria Forte, Branding Officer for the McGill Youth Advisory Delegation (MYAD), commemorates International Youth Day by highlighting MYAD's efforts to amplify youth voices in global policymaking. The article delves into the organisation's pivotal role since gaining special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and explores the critical importance of inclusive and informed policymaking. Victoria also emphasises MYAD's commitment to bridging the generational divide through intergenerational dialogue and dispelling misconceptions about youth activism.
