Invest. Inspire. Succeed: International Youth Day 2020

On International Youth Day 2020, WPL championed the voices of young women politicians who seek to challenge entrenched perceptions of youth in decision-making spheres. 

Amplifying these women’s voices represents one of the most critical steps that organisations, governments, corporations and communities can take to engage youth in catalysing change. Listening, learning and adapting at any age is vital to creating a sustainable future.

That’s why, alongside elevating the voices of young women in politics, WPL sought advice from eminent Women Political Leaders who are supporting younger generations as they embark on their journeys to leadership. 

Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, President of Malta (2014-2019), President of Eurochild, Chair of The Malta Foundation for the Wellbeing of Society, Chair of The Malta Trust Foundation and Zuraida Binti Kamaruddin, Minister of Housing and Local Government of Malaysia, WPL Ambassador and #Girl2Leader Ambassador of Malaysia, contributed special messages of support and advice to youth around the world.
