E-Discussion on Disadvantaged Children and Young People living in Urban Areas
1-29 August 2013
Dear colleagues, friends.
As part of the continued effort to ensure that inequalities are addressed in the post-2015 agenda, the Global Thematic Consultation on Addressing Inequalities (co-led by UNICEF and UN Women) will be holding additional periodic e-discussions hosted on the World We Want website.
These will serve to deepen the debate on issues touched on during the first round of e-discussions held from 2012 to early 2013, leading up to the Addressing Inequalities Leadership Meeting in Copenhagen in February 2013.
In this context, we would like to invite you take part in an online discussion on Disadvantaged Children and Young People living in Urban Areas, which is planned for 1-29 August 2013. The timing of this is specifically to provide input to the United Cities and Local Governments (UGLG) World Congress, taking place in Rabat, Morocco, in October 2013. The results of the e-discussion will be synthesized into a short findings report to be used and disseminated at a side-event panel discussion at the event.
UNICEF, UN-Habitat, UN Volunteers and the Major Group for Children and Youth will be moderating the e-discussion.
During the course of the e-discussion, we will be discussing issues such as climate change, migration, access to services, policies and programmes, and social cohesion and civic engagement — all as they pertain to urban children and young people.
If you have not already joined the World We Want 2015 website, you can sign up today and we will share a link to the discussion forum when it goes live shortly.
