This strategic move is helping us develop our national and regional networks and to create new, more distributed decision making processes. We are more dedicated than ever to fostering the SSDP movement across the world.

We are proud to announce that the Youth Advocacy Forum will be presented at a side event organized by Turkish Green Crescent and UNODC during the ECOSOC Youth Forum 2021.

The ECOSOC Youth Forum provides a global platform for a candid dialogue among Member States and Young leaders from all over the world on solutions to challenges affecting well-being of young people. It also serves as a unique space for young people to share their vision and actions as well as to provide youth perspectives on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs.

The side-event will present key results from our first monitoring report and focus on these issues, among others: National drug strategies, reducing drug use prevalence, prevention strategies, mobilization of local communities and of parents groups, role of self-help methods, special needs of women. What has happened in these areas since UNGASS in 2016?

At the side-event, conclusions from the report will be presented briefly by representatives of the host organisations and then commented by national representatives.

Child Abuse

Child abuse is the physical neglect, exploitation and trafficking of a child under10years especially in the hands of a parent or guardian.

The consequence of child maltreatment or abuse is that the affected child feels like an outcast, faces stigmatization, alongside lifelong damages to the physical, mental health and this can ultimately slow a country's economic and social development.

Children are the victims of abuse and should not be blamed.

Preventive ways Parent/Guardian should take to stop Child abuse are:

1. Understand your children

2. Watch your words

3. Keep your children healthy

4. Take a time out

5. Get control of yourself before you discipline a child.

Child Labor

Child Labor is depriving a child from not attaining to their potential and it will affect their mental development and expose them to harmful injuries.

Child Labor cannot be encourage in any way of life because it will prevent a child not attain to his goal in life it’s also affect development in our Society because a child that is properly empower cannot be useful to the society and the country at Large. Government should pass a decree into Law especially with the sub-Saharan region in Africa and a penalty for anyone who abuse the right of a child should face the law because that can create fear to society and lead to the birth control because of the consequences of child Labor

Meanwhile, a child should be given the opportunity to exhibit their talent and bring out their potential.

Conclusively, parents should live up to their expectation to give his/her child the required education that will enable their child to be useful to the society and to the country at large.

AGEING

Everyone’s dream is to see his/herself in a unique age before death comes knocking.

Age is the number of years a person spends on planet earth and before aging. An individual

needs to maintain his/her Health and to preserve Good Heath, we should take balance diet

and nutrition, take physical exercise, rest and sleep well regularly, maintain cleanliness

everywhere in our life and always go for medical check-up.

An individual age is classified into three stages and they are BIRTH, TEEN AND ADULT AGE

CHALLENGES FACING THE GIRL CHILD

Most communities and families believe that the girl child has no value to their community or family. In some states and communities, women are subjected to forced marriages, low standard of living, and poor educational background.

The inequality and disadvantages that girls face stem from three interwoven causes: child marriage, child pregnancy, and child labor, all of which are exacerbated by poverty and have insidious consequences on the outcomes of these girls‘ lives.

HUMAN RIGHT AND GIRL CHILD

The human rights of children and the girl-child are explicitly set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely ratified human rights Treaty in History.

• Right to education of all levels

• Right to protection from all physical or mental abuse

• Right to information about healthy sexuality and reproduction etc.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate Change is one of the most complex issue facing the world today and it needs to be addressed. The rising temperature, global warming, rainfall pattern, extreme weather. This affects the environment at large.

The United Nation Framework convention on Climate Change has organized several convention on climate change inviting the world leaders to tackle Climate related issues. Asabe Shehu Yar’Adua Foundation (ASYARFS) was in attendance in line with the United Nation on the events on Climate issues.

All of the negative consequences increase their magnitude on Agriculture. For instance; Droughts create wildfires which in turn destroy the crops that are basically for consumption.

We need to stop these Climate issuesbecause we have the knowledge, power and ability to stop the effects of Climate Change.
