They are taking away the voice of young women
News from Rio +20
They are taking away our right to speak out!
In the first proposal of a text, there was a paragraph about an ombudsman/high commissionaire for future generations. In the new text proposed by Brazil this has been taken out and we as youth have lost our voice in the negotiations.
Old men in suits are now taking decisions on our behalf, controlling our future and it seems both stupid and unfair.
Please take action all, who can!
Express your concern, dismay, and raise awareness by tweeting using the #SaveOurSay hashtag.
If you are at Rio +20 take contact to your government and urge them to give us a voice.
Follow Future Justice on facebook all day and see, what you can do.

This list serve is for members of the Women Major Group following the Post Rio+20 process (Financing SD, SDGs-post2015) as well as for members of the Women Major Group following Environment processes (UNEP). The Operating Partners (OPs) of the Post Rio+20 process that coordinate the group rotate periodically. The current WMG OPs are Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF) and Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN) supported by a core group including the Women's Environment and Development Organization(WEDO) and Global Forest Coalition (GFC).
