BLIND SA NATIONAL YOUTH PARLIAMENT 2026
80–50–30: HONOURING OUR PAST, ADVANCING OUR RIGHTS, SHAPING OUR FUTURE
Blind SA is proud to present the 2026 National Youth Parliament (NYP) — a powerful platform that places blind and partially sighted young people at the centre of democratic participation, dialogue and advocacy.
The National Youth Parliament began in 2021 as an initiative to give blind and partially sighted learners a meaningful voice on issues affecting their lives. What started as provincial Youth Parliaments has grown into a national platform, bringing young people from across South Africa together to debate, deliberate and influence the issues that matter to them.
In 2026, young Parliamentarians will engage in motions, debates and commissions, examining critical issues including human rights, education and inclusion, sexual and reproductive health and rights, HIV/AIDS, gender-based violence and femicide, youth leadership and the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
But this is more than a Parliament.
It is a space where young people identify barriers, challenge systems, propose solutions and turn their experiences into resolutions and a National Youth Parliament Declaration — creating a collective voice that can be taken forward to government, legislatures, schools, civil society and other stakeholders.
Why 2026 matters
This year's Parliament takes place during three significant milestones:
80 YEARS of Blind SA
50 YEARS of organised youth participation
30 YEARS of constitutional democracy
Together, these milestones remind us where we have come from, the rights that have been secured, and the responsibility of today's young people to shape the future.
The message is clear:
Blind and partially sighted young people are not passive recipients of services. They are rights-holders, citizens, leaders and partners in shaping the decisions that affect their present and their future.
📢 Their voices matter.
✊ Their rights matter.
🌍 Their future matters.
Follow Blind SA as we bring you the voices, debates, ideas and aspirations of the National Youth Parliament 2026.
MY VOICE. MY RIGHTS. MY FUTURE.
