During the opening round of statements at the UNGA Youth panel on Youth-Centered Leadership for Greater Opportunities and Violence-Free Futures, I shared my experience in sports-based curriculum teaching gender equality and in providing funds to refugee youth-led initiatives.

“The joy of leadership comes from seeing others achieve more.”
I’m really happy to be able to participate at the #ECOSOC Youth Forum with Kesiya Ramazani, cofounder of @TIHchangemakers, Nifasha Adelaide founding member of @RCCA_Youth and Adhraa Faris, co-founder of Life Savers.

Had an opportunity to make an intervention at the SDGG 17 session and to join the expert level meeting with member states, the meeting with youth climate leaders and many other sessions at the #ECOSOC Youth Forum 2025.

Celebrating Gracia Masimango: a visionary leader who empowered youth, championed inclusivity, and inspired climate action in the Tongogara Refugee Settlement. Her legacy reminds us of the power of collaboration and resilience. 🌍💚 @rcca_youth #YouthLeadership #ClimateAction

For @BarthMwanza, it’s simple: young refugees and forcibly displaced young people must have a meaningful role in shaping the future.

Their voices and experiences are crucial to creating a more inclusive and resilient world.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Refugee Youth Advocate @BarthMwanza has an important message:

Young refugees and forcibly displaced young people must have a say in shaping #OurCommonFuture. Their voices and contributions are essential for building a more inclusive and resilient world.

[UNICEF Education @UNICEFEducation]

At the #SummitOfTheFuture, we heard how displaced youth face increased barriers to access education.

The solution?

As @BarthMwanza put it “We are the solution!”

Partnering with youth networks and supporting #YouthVoices along their learning and leadership journey is critical.

It was a great honor to present the 2024 voices of courage awards to Deepti, a tireless activist and advocate and Rowida, a brave young woman at the @wrcommission VOC Awards gala.

[barth mwanza @BarthMwanza]

I cannot express how grateful I am for this opportunity. Big thanks to @UNHCRUSA and @UNRefugeeAgency for providing me a space to advocate for positive change in refugee communities.
Our hope is that these discussions will lead to meaningful progress and impactful outcomes.

[barth mwanza @BarthMwanza]

Many thanks to @GRYN_NETWORK for making us part of the high level dialogue and reception on the participation, leadership and self-reliance of young refugees during the #SummitoftheFuture2024
Let's embrace our collective vision and commit to taking actionable steps forward.

We face unprecedented crises - war, climate, inequalities. Landscape is drastically changing.

Humanitarian action must change with it.

I was happy to moderate an important session with #UNGA leaders on the future. Political action also essential.

[barth mwanza @BarthMwanza]

I joined an expert-level
conversation with member states Cosponsored by the
Permanent Mission
of Canada to the UN
and UNHCR to hear from us, refugee leaders and delegates in New York ahead of the Summit of
the Future and the start of the 79th Session of the UN
General Assembly.

[barth mwanza @BarthMwanza]

Solidarity is a two-way process because it is a relationship with both sides, giving and receiving.

Refugees are not only recipients of assistance but they are also leaders, change makers, and actively address issues affecting their communities.
