Hello.  Greetings from Siirt, east of Turkey.

Here's the link to look at, to read the Eurostat Data on Youth:

I really feel that such stories and experiences should and must be heard and shared. That's how we raise awareness of the diversity of youth and the diversity of issues we face. As youth, but also as young lgbtqi, as young women, as young people with disabilities, as young activists etc.

Thank you so much Ilyada. 

Very inspiring. 

Not shocked to hear about manxplaining menstruation!

Very insightful speech about menstrual justice, a term I wasn't familiar with.

I imagine this topic can be expanded to cover everything from access to, pricing of, education about health products to women's reproductive health and rights. 

Thank you Ms Eskitascioglu!

Activism requires passion, bravery, dedication, and credibility. Sometimes however it seems that activists are more under judgements than their battles and ideas, isn’t it? 

Curious about We Need to Talk, the organisation founded by İlayda Eskitaşçıoğlu?

Here's its Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/weneedtotalkinitiative

Thank you for this Community conference and this theme!

EPALE Latvia has prepared a specific blog for this topic, which I would like to suggest to read - "2022 is a year of opportunities in the field of youth":
