Global Refugee Forum 2023: Youth Manifesto

We, a group of displaced youth changemakers have come together to call on the leaders attending the Global Refugee Forum for a fundamental change in the way that young refugees are supported.

Hear directly from young refugees

We are profoundly affected by global issues and wish to share our visions for the future.

We want our voices not merely to be heard but to be a decisive factor in global change.

No one is an expert in refugee issues more than refugees themselves.

We bring fresh perspectives, innovative ideas and a determination to shape our own futures.

By including our voices in decision-making processes, we can co-create effective solutions that address the unique challenges we face.

We call on you to work closely with young people, to support policy changes, gather funding, and put programmes into place that will bring a more inclusive and brighter future for all young refugees.

Young people are change-makers and innovators who can bring impactful solutions to the table.
