The Winter Youth Assembly was held on February 2, 2017. Organised by the Global Coalition to End Child Poverty in partnership with UNICEF and hosted at United Nations Headquarters in New York, this three day event placed the voices of youth at the heart of discussions on the most pressing factors affecting child poverty today, and  highlight the interdependence and universality of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In December last year, Zinester worked with ten girls from Egypt to get their voices heard. Zinester aims to give marginalized groups a voice by teaching them to make DIY magazines and using these ‘Zines’ for social impact and to provide assets for campaigns.

Child poverty is everyone’s problem having devastating impacts on all societies and economies, be it rich or poor, urban or rural - it affects everyone.
