You(th) can – show up, then start up!

It is a poignant reminder of the gallant youth of 1976 who in their quest for a decent education, courageously challenged the might of the South African security forces and one can argue, they also played a seminal role in the march towards democracy. However, the youth dividend doesn't end here. Think of the energy behind the 'fees must fall' campaign, the 'decolonisation of education' movement and further afield, efforts by Malala Yousefzai who in her drive for girls' education in Pakistan took a bullet.

But even though South Africa's Constitution guarantees all citizens' rights, many factors still conspire to make transgender and gender-diverse persons particularly vulnerable to life-threatening marginalisation, oppression, violence, and exclusion. Some of these factors include access to education, socioeconomic status, health status, stigma, housing, and discrimination.<br> <a href="https://www.bizcommunity.com//Article/196/499/229184.html">Read more...</a> | <a href="https://www.bizcommunity.com//SendToFriend.aspx?l=196&c=499&ct=1&ci=229184">Send to a friend</a></p><div style="clear:left"></div>
