Global advocacy toolkit for the Beijing +25 process and beyond

 Advocacy spaces such as international processes and negotiations can be quite complex from the outset and difficult to access for youth. This manual aims to motivate and support young feminists to participate in international policy-making and push for system change throughout the Generation Equality Forum (Beijing+25) process and other policy spaces related to women’s rights and gender equality. These include the Commission on the Status of Women and its review of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for action, Agenda 2030 with its High Level Political Forum, and the United Nations General Assembly.

In the toolkit, you’ll find –  1. From cause to advocacy. 2. Know your rights – her story of policies, rights and world conferences. 3. How do I engage? Finding your way through the wiggly maze of global advocacy (UN). 4. From words to action – practical tools for effective advocacy – https://www.wecf.org/de/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/YoungFeministsWantSystemchange_2020.pdf.
