Background:
- The majority of the world’s youth population lives in Asia. Those groups have no choice in some issues due to their exclusion in society. They are susceptible to violence against vulnerable groups. 21–55% of Asian women report experiencing intimate physical and/or sexual violence during their lifetime (http://www.api-gbv.org/files/Facts.Stats-APII DV-2015.pdf) On the other hand, youth has many opportunities to create a movement through platforms. They can lead and decide what is best for themselves.
- Those different situation of youth could collaborate by making a global campaign, allowing them to be responsible for themselves.
