You(th) can – show up, then start up!

<p><img data-src="https://biz-file.com/c/2206/660692.jpg" alt="You(th) can - show up, then start up!" width="208" height="117" align="left" / loading="lazy" class="lazyload">June in South Africa is Youth Month! 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. Also, Greta Thundberg, the Swedish teen, mobilised thousands of young people and challenged world leaders to bring qualitative changes to environmentally disastrous policies.<br> <a href="https://www.bizcommunity.com//Article/196/499/229208.html">Read more...</a> | <a href="https://www.bizcommunity.com//SendToFriend.aspx?l=196&c=499&ct=1&ci=229208">Send to a friend</a></p><div style="clear:left"></div>

<p><img data-src="https://biz-file.com/c/2206/660632-208x117.jpg?2" alt="Image source: Sharon McCutcheon from" width="208" height="117" align="left" / loading="lazy" class="lazyload"><br><span >Image source: Sharon McCutcheon from [[https://www.pexels.com Pexels]]&lt;/span>South Africa is one of the most progressive countries in advancing the rights of sexual and gender minorities in Africa, and its Constitution was the first in the world to prohibit unfair discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. 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>
