#International Youth Day 2025 - young people are active agents of change, innovation, and leadership. There's no better example of this that the work of G-Watch (Government Watch), Multiply-Ed Philippines, Center for Youth Advocacy and Networking, and the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines - citizen-led monitoring of the education sector, and advocacy for youth participation in policy spaces.

Get a flavor from a recent Accountability Note discussing the added value of Mulitply-Ed's youth-led citizen engagement to existing processes of legislative oversight in the education sector: https://t.co/ArbJJJ5P39

Israeli airstrikes severely damaged Houthi-controlled ports & energy facilities in #Yemen. #Israel says it’s a response to 200 Houthi missile & UAV attacks since Oct 7. #Houthis know the response will be devastating- as in Gaza, Lebanon, & aftermath in #Syria. So why risk it? 1/6

We also need to stop and think why this author chose to be anonymous? What is happening to us in this world that an author of an academic article highlighting injustice needs to be anonymous?

[Hatem Zayed @Hatemmozayed]

Should we wait on the experts to “sharpen their pens after the smell of death has dissipated and moral clarity is no longer urgent”?

Brilliant article on how cowardly the global health community has been in reacting to the genocide in Gaza.

This amazing author, who chose to be anonymous, highlights how the genocide in Gaza, and discussions around Palestine in general, are reduced to "bare biological needs."

Give this brilliant episode of "This American Life" a listen. Rarely do we get to hear about the day to day experiences of a child in Gaza like this.

The dramatic student-led movement to restore Bangladesh’s democracy showed the strength of its organized youth. New brief from @nomhossain & Rafsanul Hoque analyzes significance of a new generation of youth-led civil society actors working on education https://t.co/5GZE6YZoaV

[UNIFIL @UNIFIL_]

UNIFIL statement:

This morning, peacekeepers at a position near Kafer Kela observed an IDF Merkava tank firing at their watchtower. Two cameras were destroyed, and the tower was damaged.

Yet again we see direct and apparently deliberate fire on a UNIFIL position.

Statement:
Recent escalation along the Blue Line is causing widespread destruction of towns and villages in south Lebanon, while rockets continue to be launched towards Israel, including civilian areas.

This is at UCLA, where pro-genocide protestors are shooting explosives at sleeping students in the Gaza solidarity encampment.

There has been no coverage of the *documented* violence, racism and harassment by Zionists against students across SoCal campuses.

[Maddie Khaw @MaddieKhaw]

Boston University students walked out of class today to protest the arrests of 100+ pro-Palestinian student demonstrators at Columbia University yesterday. Students at Harvard and MIT are also walking out today.

[Michael Lynk @MichaelLynk5]

The Guardian has created a stunning visual map of the scale of destruction in Gaza. Homes, mosques, libraries, churches, schools, universities -- everything that makes civil life possible -- erased. https://t.co/ZiAfbGdbRZ

This is an actual commercial that airs on Hulu right now. I am in utter shock...

Wait till the end of. How to debunk propaganda part 2

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

“If Hamas surrenders we will stop killing innocent civilians” is actually an admission of war crimes.

[Hatem Zayed @Hatemmozayed]

"What is your human rights advocacy and feminism worth if you lend credence to war atrocity propaganda as genocide is unfolding on our screens?"

NYT doesn’t cover the executions, the rounding up, stripping & torture of Palestinian men & boys; the massacres. It doesn’t cover the daily Israeli calls for genocide.

Because this is what it sees as the ‘tragedy’ of it all - the cost to Israel, the cost to the genocidaires.
