YGBN Toolkit: Young women going back to nature

Download

This toolkit is specially designed for specialists who work with the young women at risk. Young women in our society may grapple with a range of complex issues, including mental health challenges, peer pressure, body image, and self-esteem concerns, academic stress, relationship challenges, family dynamics, financial insecurity, substance abuse, gender inequality, experiences of violence and abuse, trauma, social exclusion, and more. Addressing these multifaceted challenges through support, education, and accessible mental health resources is vital in promoting the well-being and empowerment of young women in our society, enabling them to navigate life’s complexities and realize their full potential.

The Change We Want: A Manifesto by Rural Young People in Europe

At QUEST, we believe young people don’t need adults to translate what they want to say. Too often, they are tokenised, routinely consulted to check a box, yet shut out from meaningful decision-making on the very issues that shape their lives. They need real space to say it, and real doors opened to the people who can act on it. Giving rural youth the room to define their own demands, in their own words and their own format, and then walking those demands into institutions like the EESC and the Committee of the Regions, is exactly the kind of empowerment we exist to make possible.

The article challenges this view by pointing to the increasingly pernicious marginalisation of play and to the risks this represents for children and for society more broadly.
