Amazing to see work of our young adviser @HopeMSYP recognised in the UN Human Rights Social Forum's 2020 report.

Hope's shared experiences of children and young people in poverty at a global level— and encouraged global awareness of those hit hardest by COVID-19.

[Hope Laing MSYP @HopeMSYP]

Could not have done this without the amazing support of staff at the office of the Children and young peoples commissioner Scotland. 🥰 @CYPCS

Massive thank you to all them for giving me this opportunity to highlight inequalities for Scottish young people on a global level 🌟
