Case study. Meaningful engagement of young people in generation equality

Young people have shaped Generation Equality since its inception. The principal aspiration of many youth-led and adolescent girls’ organizations in joining Generation Equality was to advocate for gender equality and social justice, by bringing the demands of young people into international fora and multilateral decision-making spaces. This case study examines the participation of youth and adolescent girls, focusing on their experiences, concerns and ideas of what meaningful youth engagement means, in practice. To complement findings from the 2023 data, this case study summarizes insights from interviews with five youth-led organizations, one adolescent girls’ organization and a focus group discussion at a youth bridge-building workshop with sub-Saharan African with young activists.
