Take the HOT SEAT

 The CSW63 side event High Level Intergenerational Dialogue "Take the Hot Seat" was a well organized, easy flowing, intellectual event. The young moderators were well prepared and enthusiastic. The questions, both from moderators and general population, were well thought out. The panelist had very thoughtful and relevant answers. 

Here was a nice news story that highlights several key points made at the event.
At CSW 63, youth ask for increased investment, accountability and seat at decision-making tables

One question asked was; "How can the Common Minimum Standards now be shared with everyone? Even those who were not in attendance at the CSW." 
No one from the panel truly answered this question. Geraldine Byrne, Chairman of the CSW was urging all UN members to look over them and commit to sharing and taking action.  So please take a minute to read over them and contact your UN and government representatives and they will have "no choice to ignore it." 
Youth Common Minimum Standards

There were a few other websites and organizations mentioned that can help spread the word about both youth and women's voice being heard. The links below provide opportunities for you to share your voice, get involved, take action, promote, and support the youth movement.
