¡En el mes de la juventud celebramos el poder de las juventudes constructoras de paz en nuestro hemisferio!

Durante el Action LAB de la Red Unida de Jóvenes Constructores de Paz, de las Américas 19 personas jóvenes del hemisferio se dieron cita en Lima, Perú 🇵🇪 para fortalecer sus capacidades organizacionales para promover una cultura de paz en la región, a través de procesos formativos entre pares y talleres temáticos.

Este encuentro de 3 días, no solo fue un espacio de aprendizaje, sino también de construcción de alianzas entre organizaciones de la red para movilizar acciones conjuntas en la región. También se desarrollaron actividades culturales y dinámicas de integración entre las juventudes participantes.

El encuentro finalizó con una jornada en las instalaciones de UNESCO Perú, donde las juventudes participantes fueron parte de talleres temáticos sobre juventudes paz y seguridad desde diversos enfoques facilitados por agencias de l Sistema de Naciones Unidas en el Perú entre ellas UNFPA Perú, PNUD, UN LIREC y UNESCO.

Para The Millennials Movement, fue una súper experiencia sumarnos como partner implementador de este proceso y acoger a este grupo de juventudes que toman acción por la paz en nuestra región a través de nuestra representación en la red a cargo de Christy Wong y Samantha Pérez, quienes fueron parte del equipo coorganizador del espacio.

También agradecemos a todxs los actores que hicieron esto posible y al Grupo Especializado en Juventud de Naciones Unidas en Perú 🇺🇳 por su apoyo en este proceso.✨🫶🏽

How can we recognise the resilience of peacebuilders without romanticising the conditions they are forced to survive?

In Episode 6 of Peace Under Pressure, our host Fama speaks with Ufra Mir, peace- psychologist and Founding Executive Director of the International Center for Peace Psychology, about rethinking care, wellbeing and resilience in peacebuilding.

Ufra explores why wellbeing cannot be understood only as an individual issue, but must also account for the political, social and cultural conditions shaping people’s lives. She discusses the risks of placing the responsibility for resilience on those living through oppression and ongoing trauma, and asks us to consider the systems and institutions surrounding them.

Drawing on her work in Kashmir, South Asia, Majority World and globally, Ufra also reflects on what decolonising wellbeing can look like in practice, including recognising community-based forms of care, culture, spirituality and creative expression 🌱
The conversation also highlights the need for stronger protection mechanisms, resources, recognition and structured wellbeing support for young peacebuilders and activists 🌍

❓Who gets to have a seat at the table?

This week in our series on threats facing young peacebuilders, we look at exclusion - the barriers that push young people out of the very spaces meant to support peace.

📢 If we want peace, we have to protect and include the young people building it. 🕊️

🎬 Thank you United Societies of Balkans for sharing how exclusion shapes your work 🙏

Smiles, strategic insights, and groundbreaking discussions! 📸✨
Last week, we gathered in Almaty for the Global Strategic Dialogue on Youth, Peace, and Security (YPS) - the first meeting of its kind bringing together national and regional YPS coalitions from around the world.
Together, we dove deep into what it truly takes to advance the agenda:
✅Movement & Coalition Building: Unpacking practical strategies, real-world challenges, and emerging opportunities in assembling national YPS coalitions.
✅Institutionalisation: Hearing directly from young leaders who have been on the front lines of drafting, adopting, and implementing national YPS frameworks.
✅National Action Plans: Analyzing critical success factors and global trends to ensure genuine, lasting youth ownership.We were so fortunate to have so many UNOY Peacebuilders members fill the room with their energy, expertise, and lived experiences.

Meet those who joined us in Almaty and are leading the YPS agenda on the ground: Gutiérrez Mejía, in Colombia 🇨🇴, Brighton Malekela in Tanzania 🇹🇿 , Mbode Diouf in Senegal 🇸🇳 , Salissou Mamane Elh Koudoube in Niger 🇳🇪 , Valentina Aslani and Marjus Ceveli in Italy 🇮🇹 , Abdullah Oldpa Bility in Liberia 🇱🇷 , Issah Toha Shamsoo in Ghana 🇬🇭 , Ndey Fatou Nying in The Gambia 🇬🇲 , Carlos Ernesto Garcia Flores in El Salvador 🇸🇻 , Franck Ngenzebuhoro in Burundi 🇧🇮 , Ehab Badwi in Germany 🇩🇪 and Syria 🇸🇾 , Katrina Leclerc in Canada 🇨🇦 , Mridul Kumar Upadhyay in India 🇮🇳 , Akilimali Chikwanine Joseph in the Democratic Republic of Congo 🇨🇩 , Samson Shabu in Nigeria 🇳🇬 , Anthony Fedorov in Finland 🇫🇮 .

Threats against young peacebuilders are not always visible - but their impact is lasting.

This is part of a series where UNOY members share the real threats they face because of their work for peace. Today we look at shrinking civic space.

When governments restrict the freedom to organise, speak or receive funding, young peacebuilders pay the highest price.

Thank you Juventud Unida En Acción Ong & the Peace Building Team for sharing the impact of shrinking civic space on peacebuilding work in Venezuela and DRC🙏

📢 If we want peace, we have to protect the young people building it. 🕊️

En junio, fuertes terremotos sacudieron Venezuela provocando una destrucción masiva. Un mes después, las personas que lo perdieron todo siguen sin tener acceso a servicios básicos y productos de primera necesidad.

En situaciones de catástrofe, además de los daños materiales y emocionales, los niños, los jóvenes y las mujeres se enfrentan a riesgos aún mayores, desde la explotación hasta la violencia de género. UNOY hace un llamamiento para que:

✅ Refugios dignos y seguros cumplan con las normas adecuadas de higiene y privacidad
✅ Se active de manera inmediata los protocolos de protección de los niños y las mujeres
✅ Se creen mecanismos de denuncia y apoyo accesibles
✅Se garantice el cumplimiento de los compromisos en materia de derechos humanos relacionados con la respuesta ante catástrofes, con el apoyo de la comunidad internacional.

Reconocemos la labor de los jóvenes y las organizaciones comunitarias que ya se encuentran sobre el terreno prestando atención psicosocial y apoyo en materia de protección. Su solidaridad refleja la resiliencia de la juventud venezolana. 💜

UNOY insta a la comunidad internacional, a los agentes humanitarios y a la ONU a actuar de inmediato.

Lee la declaración completa en nuestra página web 🔗https://unoy.org/comunicado-oficial-de-unoy-en-solidaridad-con-venezuela-tras-el-terremoto/

Si quieres apoyar las iniciativas sobre el terreno, es posible donar a nuestro miembro venezolano Juventud Unida En Acción Ong a través de PayPal ([email protected]). https://www.paypal.com/signin?returnUri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paypal.com%2Fmyaccount%2Ftransfer&state=%2F 🙏

Todos los fondos recaudados se destinarán a la compra de material sanitario, productos de higiene menstrual y artículos básicos de higiene personal. Estos recursos se entregarán a las comunidades afectadas de La Guaira, y el material sanitario para el personal sanitario se entregará directamente al Hospital José María Vargas.
