APPC Multistakeholder Meeting

YVC joined the Multistakeholder meeting organized by ARROW with the support of Y-Peer Asia Pacific Center, and Youth LEAD ahead the 7th Asian and Pacific Population Conference.

In this meeting, the importance of making sure young LGBTIQ+ people are included in important decisions was presented. It was explained how everyone’s voice matters, especially those who often don’t get heard. Together with all the stakeholders, they wrote down all their agenda in a special document called a Call to Action where young LGBTIQ+ agendas were put. This paper had lots of important points about things like health, education, equality, and how to help everyone in the region.

This Call to Action was a big deal—it wasn’t just words on paper. It was like a roadmap showing what everyone agreed was super important for Asia and the Pacific region. They wanted governments, the UN, and others in charge to listen and take action. It was all about making sure everyone, no matter who they are, gets a fair chance at a good life.
