Subject: Youth Statement at 9th ICAAP
Dear All,
In the last two days, over 150 young people ranged from 17 to 35
years, representing over 20 countries, came together in solidarity at
the youth pre congress. The youth group at the second largest AIDS
forum in the world, the 9th ICAAP, drafted a collective commitment to
increase young people’s stake in programmes and policy processes that
impact their lives and their rights. Young people from Brunei, Sri
Lanka, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Japan, China, Philippines, Brazil,
Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Nepal, Burma, Malaysia, Samoa, Lao, Papua
New Guinea and South Korea were represented.
Our commitment is to achieve meaningful youth participation by
developing strong adult peer partnerships, increase funding and
capacity building for youth led and youth serving initiatives,
mainstream human rights in the HIV and AIDS response for all young
people, recognize and affirm young people’s sexual reproductive health
and rights and eliminate stigma and discrimination amongst young
people.
For the first time at ICAAP, young people have set up Commitments at
the 9th ICAAP, at the Youth Corner at Asia Pacific Village, BICC, Bali
where decision makers, organizations, individuals and governments are
invited to make commitments to adult-peer partnerships committed to
making a change. We will review the commitments made at after a 6
month and 12 month period. These commitments will also be announced at
press conferences being held across ICAAP.
Please do join us in endorsing the statement and forwarding it to your
networks. If you would like to make a commitment, please find the form
attached. You can email the final commitment to me at
theypfoundation (at) gmail.com and I will submit the same in the formal
listing. Do help us spread word.
We hope you will join us in making change happen!
Warm Regards,
Ishita.
