How to support youth seeking peace
What Do Young South Africans Need? | Khadija Mayman | Global Stage | GZERO Media
January 02, 2023
Youth in South Africa want to thrive — but they lack opportunities.
As a youth peacemaker for the Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative, Khadija Mayman works to educate young people on the values of peace in Cape Town. It's not an easy job with violence and unemployment rising.
Her message to those in power: Don't give us things, but you can help us.
"We are saying that we are here, we want to do the work, but we cannot do it without the necessary support and capacity," Mayman says during a Global Stage livestream conversation hosted by GZERO in partnership with Microsoft.
