Part 4: Yasmina Benslimane
(Founder)
Global population in 2023 has surpassed 8 billion, young people (under 30) currently represent approximately 52% of the global population with this number projected to grow in the coming decades. However, young people often face barriers to representation, participation and inclusion, limiting the ability of their voices to be heard.
In this miniseries on ‘Meaningful Youth Engagement’ we feature conversations with young people speaking to young people about what meaningful engagement means to them, the barriers and challenges they face, and how organisations can support young people to thrive.
In Part 4 of our Youth Engagement miniseries, Yanti Silviana (Impact and Strategy Fellow at Accountable Now) speaks with Yasmina Benslimane about the rise of technology for feminist activism and the challenges of online gender based violence in the SWANA region [South West Asia and North Africa], and the creative ways youth activists are finding to ensure their voices are heard online.
