Not everyone finds it easy to talk about sexual and reproductive health and that’s okay.

Wekume is here to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can ask questions, share, and get the support you need.

You’re not alone.

"Young people ought to be in the room and contribute to all discussions. #Taxation could be the most vital issue we discuss in this lifetime. Every decision made in a #budget room affects your life. " - @Mura_Allan, YTJN Team Lead.

Additionally, you cannot advocate for what you do not understand. You cannot challenge a policy you have never read. You cannot hold a government accountable for a budget you have never seen.

We have made ourselves readily available to break down any complex text for anyone and help you ask the questions that often go unasked: Where is this money coming from? Where is it going? Who decided that? Who benefits? #Youth4FfD #UNTaxConvention #Youth4TaxJustice

“Transparent action is not optional, it is the foundation for trust, justice and effective climate solutions.”

While @Cop30noBrasil advances multiple goals, I’m keenly curious about the cross-cutting effect of Transparency framework for climate action. Under the CMA enhanced transparency reporting.
Opening climate governance to wider participation from all stakeholders, parties, civil society, youth, indigenous people and academia.
As young people in climate change spaces we must align our advocacy to spotlight transparency and accountability.

"I earn a small salary, but when I buy groceries, I pay the same VAT as the rich. How is that fair?"_
Fact: In South Africa, the richest 1% pay a lower share of their income in taxes than many low- and middle-income earners.

As we continue to negotiate for a #UNTaxConvention, we demand that the final text to reflect the ToR’s full ambition and factor the following;

✅ Deliver Intergenerational #TaxJustice through Progressive Tax System
✅ Operationalize the Principle with Bold and Transparent Tools
✅ Guarantee ‘#Inclusive, #Meaningful and #Effective’ Participation for Youth

🗣️| Allan Murangira, Youth for Tax Justice Network (YTJN)

The framework being shaped in Nairobi🇰🇪 has the potential to shift the balance of fiscal power, ensuring that all nations, especially those in the Global South, can mobilize resources fairly and independently.

Furthermore, these negotiations also offer a space to define the kind of world and economic system that young people will inherit.

As such, we cannot compromise on the principle of #intergenerationalequity.
