Peaceful Futures Scholarship for One Young World Summit in Tokyo 2022
The Peaceful Futures Scholarship is being offered by Citizens of Our Planet to attend the One Young World Summit in Tokyo, Japan, from May 16 to 19.
Young people’s violence is a worldwide problem that has ramifications for public health, human rights, and economic development.
Every year, an estimated 200,000 people aged 10 to 29 are killed, accounting for 42 percent of all murder victims.
This figure represents just one facet of a larger picture of violence perpetrated by and against young people, which includes bullying, sexual assault, and significant bodily and psychological harm that has long-term implications.
To solve this dilemma, a broad-based strategy is needed that targets both the immediate repercussions of violence and the core causes of the problem.
It is critical that the lived experiences of young people be crucial to the development and implementation of these solutions.
