“Free Muslim” Calls for Youth Empowerment, Tackling Unemployment, and Promoting a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence on International Youth Day<\/p>\n
On the occasion of International Youth Day, which falls on August 12 each year, the Global Non-Violence Organization (Free Muslim) has called on governments, international institutions, and community organizations to take practical steps to empower youth, provide employment opportunities, encourage their development, and involve them in decision-making processes. The organization emphasized that youth are the fundamental pillar for building a future characterized by peace, justice, and prosperity.<\/p>\n
In a statement received by “Shia News Agency” on the occasion, the organization stressed that celebrating International Youth Day should not be limited to words and slogans but should be a serious reflection to assess the current state of young people and the challenges they face, primarily unemployment, marginalization, and limited opportunities for development. This is especially pertinent in several Islamic countries that are experiencing cumulative economic, social, and political crises.<\/p>\n
“Free Muslim” affirmed that the energies of youth represent a genuine wealth for societies, calling on governments, decision-makers, and employers to launch developmental projects, provide decent job opportunities, support entrepreneurship, and open avenues for young talents to participate actively in labor markets. The organization warned that rising unemployment rates waste energy and pose a threat to social stability.<\/p>\n
In the area of education and development, the organization emphasized the importance of investing in empowering youth academically, professionally, and technologically, and reforming and updating educational systems to meet contemporary demands. It also highlighted the need for ongoing training programs that equip the new generations with the necessary skills for the future.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the organization urged the expansion of youth participation in decision-making in political, social, and cultural fields, granting them real space to express their views and contribute to formulating public policies. This ensures that development plans and programs are more responsive to the aspirations of future generations.<\/p>\n
The statement underscored the importance of promoting a culture of peace and non-violence among the youth, affirming that young people, armed with awareness and human values, serve as a barrier against extremism and conflict. It called for channeling their energies towards building peace, establishing dialogue and tolerance, and rejecting all forms of violence.<\/p>\n
The Global Non-Violence Organization (Free Muslim) renewed its commitment to defending the rights of young people and working to empower them, calling on international, regional, government, and community institutions in the Islamic world and beyond to unite their efforts to provide a safe and nurturing environment that enables youth to invest in their capabilities, realize their legitimate aspirations, and actively contribute to building their communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
