Youth Voices Matter: Different Realities, Equal Voices!

As part of the National Youth Policy 2017 revision process, the Chattogram Divisional Consultation, held in Bandarban, brought together young people and key stakeholders to share their perspectives and recommendations.

Discussions highlighted inclusive youth participation, climate resilience, and equal access to skills and services, emphasising opportunities for young women and marginalised communities.

With the collaboration of MoYS, VSO Bangladesh, UNFPA Bangladesh and other partners, these perspectives contributed to shaping a more inclusive and responsive youth policy.
