Migration Youth & Children Platform
The Migration Youth & Children Platform is one of the main mechanisms for policy engagement of young people at the United Nations and beyond. We are a global youth-led organisation facilitating and creating avenues for youth to participate in migration policy design, development, review, and monitoring. We engage in migration governance processes at national, regional and international levels on all continents. We focus on policy, advocacy, action and capacity building of youth and children in migration-related issues and the SDGs, with particular tracks in engagement with the Global Compact for Migration and the Global Forum for Migration and Development.
