Come for the coffee and quiche, stay because the LGBTQIA+ community absolutely need thriving, safe, age-inclusive spaces that don't sell alcohol. Be gay, do crimes, and PATRONIZE YOUR QUEER PEERS.

TGA @teenassemblyhq 2018; Change Starts With You And I. #redesignafrica #redesignnigeria International Youths Day; Safe Spaces For Youth #safespaces4youth Once again it's one year added to @nigeria since it's Independence, for every year added, democracy is getting more embraced, the #UNSDGs are been worked towards and innovators are sprouting throughout her borders and within, it's Nigeria's 58th Independence Day Celebration. What better way to Start a new chapter for this nation than following the right track in ensuring that your voice is heard?! Contribute by taking advantage of your political right to vote, do not embrace political apathy and DO NOT sell your rights! "Politicians can't buy that" The elections are drawing closer, your PVC should start becoming as close to you as your Debit Card. The Status of the once "giant of Africa" is in your hands, voice and actions, so don't just sit/stand/stay there screaming happy independence day underneath your voice, because hypocrisy doesn't fool anyone but you, stop complaining and start proclaiming, stop procrastinating and start getting read for vote casting, stop assuming and start resuming with a positive mind set towards your work. If I keep typing we will sleep here oooo, lemme go and sleep it's midnight already.. Happy independent day #Naija No space for #hashtags again. #independence #nigeria #goodpeople #greatnation #change #start #with #you #and #i #teenation #teamefiwe (at Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoX1tKIhruR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z6e5nx3zk7do

Weekly Roundup August 6 to 12

August 12th celebrates both International Youth Day and World Elephant Day!!!

________________________________________________________________

International Youth Day

This year’s theme centers on providing safe spaces for youth. 

“Youth need safe spaces where they can come together, engage in activities related to their diverse needs and interests, participate in decision making processes and freely express themselves. While there are many types of spaces, safe spaces ensure the dignity and safety of youth.” 

Check out Young Peacebuilders newsletter celebrating Youth Day HERE! 

And follow UN Youth Envoy on Twitter HERE, along with the hashtag #SafeSpaces4Youth this weekend!

________________________________________________________________

World Elephant Day

Moving Giants

Follow the three-year elephant-translocation project in Southern Africa!

“Moving Giants is the largest elephant "re-wilding" effort ever attempted from South Africa to Mozambique, as 200+ elephants will journey more than 1,000 miles to their new home.”

Don't Let Them Disappear - World Elephant Day

“In partnership with the renowned conservation group, WildlifeDirect, Amarula and Amarula Trust is installing the 2018 "Don't Let Them Disappear" life-sized elephant ice sculpture in Toronto’s Distillery District on World Elephant Day, August 12, wherein the sculpture will gradually melt, symbolizing the alarming rate at which African elephants are being killed for their ivory.”

“WildlifeDirect and Amarula are unveiling #DontLetThemDisappear campaign in cities around the world - Johannesburg, Sao Paolo, Toronto & Nairobi. Help us spread the word by sharing this message.”

And follow Hands Off Our Elephants (a Wildlife Direct campaign) on Facebook!

Children's Rights and Post-Conflict Development 

COMMUNITY ACTION PLANS: USING LOCAL GENIUS TO AVOID CRISIS

“[Invisible Children] work’s with each community in the Early Warning Radio Network to create what we call ‘Community Action Plans’ by identifying the unique challenges and strengths within each community.”

“The first thing we do is work with local leaders to create a local peace committee. But before all that, we work with the peace committee to get to know their community through a process called community mapping.”

Can Education Really Reduce Armed Group Recruitment?

“A new study has revealed that increasing access to high school education in war zones could help diminish support for armed groups. Research from the global organization Mercy Corps showed that young people in conflict-affected areas of Somalia who have access to secondary education are almost half as likely to support violent groups than those not in school.”

War victims in northern Uganda still waiting for justice and reparation

“The post-conflict situation in this region requires a comprehensive and holistic intervention by all the relevant stakeholders in ensuring sustainable peace, reconciliation, reintegration, rehabilitation and sustainable development.”

Weekly Roundup (August 13 to 19)

I will not be publishing a new blog post next weekend, so please keep in mind that next Sunday August 19th is World Humanitarian Day! 

“This World Humanitarian Day we continue to bring attention to the millions of civilians affected by armed conflict every day.” 

Join the #NotATarget movement HERE and demand world leaders to do everything in their power to protect all civilians in conflict.

[netwebsoftware-blog]

The theme #SafeSpaces4Youth celebrates contribution of safe spaces that allows youth to expressively engage in activities relating to their needs and interest, making them better decision makers and stimulating greater youth participation in community life and effective governance.

According to UN reports there are still 600+ million young people between the age group of 10 to 24 years surviving in conflicting areas. As an individual and society, we need to continuously push our efforts in creating a safe world for youth, so they can effectively contribute in development of economy, peace and social cohesion.
