10 Days of Activism (10DoA) is an international campaign mobilizing youth
organizations and young people from 50 countries around the world to advocate
for a rights-based, youth centered development agenda at the national and
global level , this year the third 10DoA will be taking a place from 1st to
10th of September 2012 with the theme
(Nothing for us without us ) we are emphasizing that youth should be centralized to the global development agenda however this should
be done with us and not for us to be able to make the decisions, to take
an active role in all phases of decision making that affects our lives and to
take up leadership roles to address and promote the issues that matter for us
including sexual and reproductive health and rights!
One of the channels used to achieve this is to highlight at least
30 youth led actions that are promoting this agenda through local community
channels and social media, while bringing national stories to international
attention.
The highlighted actions will be used to encourage others to participate
in the 10DoA Campaign.
Young faces will celebrate and recognize young leaders in their
communities as proof of the power of young people , every day starting the 1st
of september 3 new stories for young faces who made diffrence in their
communities will be promoted daily on 10DoA social media and media channels to
share with the world true stories of young people power and their contribution
to communities on diffrent levels , it can be a story of a peer educator
raining awarness of HIV/ADIS in their village or a young leader in the
university or it can be your story !
Who are the young
faces ?

all around the world. The equal coverage for all the regions will be taken in
