World Youth Skills Day, celebrated on 15 July each year, underscores the crucial role young people play in peace-building and conflict resolution. With the largest youth population in history, it is essential to equip them with the skills necessary to navigate adulthood and thrive in the modern world. Established by the United Nations General Assembly, World Youth Skills Day first celebrated in 2015, aims to address the challenges faced by underserved youth and emphasise the need for skill development. Many young people around the world are at a disadvantage, needing to work but lacking the necessary skills, leading to a cycle of poverty and violence. This event highlights the importance of ensuring that young people are equipped with the skills for work, employment, and entrepreneurship to reach their full potential and contribute positively to society.
The PFFSA envisions a South Africa where every woman has access to comprehensive healthcare, empowering her to make informed decisions about her well-being. Let us embrace this month with a spirit of self-empowerment and resilience, encouraging our youth to reject societal norms that seek to confine and define us. Together, let's embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, embracing the diversity of women's experiences. We're excited to share with you the enriching opportunities lined up this week!
