Call for Applications for Beijing+25 Youth Task Force

The UN Women is seeking applications for the Beijing+25 Youth Task Force to ensure that young people are mobilized, engaged and contribute to all stages and aspects of the global review processes.

The Youth Task Force will consist of 30 young people from broad youth-led global networks and organisations and civic movements.

It will seek a composition that represents young people in all their diversity and across intersectional complexities including marital status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, indigenous and ethnic identities, and refugee or migrant status.
