Caricom Youth Ambassador (CYA), Natasha Jervier, is representing Dominica at a Global Youth Forum which is being held in Bali, Indonesia.
The forum which was officially opened yesterday, is organised by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and it the International Conference on Population and Development (ICDP) to bring youth together from all over the world to discuss key issues that affect young people, with the theme, “Promoting Youth Rights at the Heart of Development.”
The discussions are expected to focus on staying healthy, comprehensive education, decent work, families and sexuality and leadership/participation.
According to Jervier, there are almost 1000 delegates from over 130 countries in attendance with an additional 2000 virtual participants. Key speakers at the opening were UNFPA Executive Director and the Minister of Health of Indonesia.
She says yesterday’s discussions focused on the issues that affect youth in terms of their health including some priority arch as HIV/AIDS, chronic non-communicable diseases, comprehensive sex education especially for adolescents.
Jervier says conference participants are also advocating for youth to be meaningfully engaged in policies and issues that concern them.
thats right……when i heard about this i asked myself but where is the one from Dublanc…….wasnt he good enough to attend..
that should teach him a lesson……dont trrust ppl..
how many OF these ambbassadors are there……..why is it only this one that got to go to Indonesia……i sense a bit of preference within this group……..the female ambassador just have to know that in order to be successful….you dont necessarily have to undermine the other person….
im glad
let me tell you something the first commenter mind your damn business she has done alot of work in the division. trust me so get your information before you comment. ease up on my cousin
huh others does the work and she gets rewarded. typical dominica.
don’t be rude… this young lady has worked hard over a number of years
go do some research on the work that ppl do and then come back and make your comment., and this trip is not a reward if you read the article well u would realise the purpose is to do more work… typical Dominican.. all we do is criticise youth.
Don’t be suckered into the U.N. propaganda agenda young people of DA. They are not out for your best interest. They will try to sell you on their Agenda 21, the goal of which is to eliminate at least 80 plus percent of the population of the world. That means you too.
