    <title><![CDATA[Innovative Solutions for Advancing Young Women’s Empowerment]]></title>
    <link>News_index.asp?ser_no=48</link>
    <description><![CDATA[In this context, the Young Women’s Forum is an open space to voice young women’s needs, demands and proposals, and it is designed to discuss and exchange best practices for advancing their empowerment. Improving the situation of millions of young women and enabling them to be active agents and strategic partners for development implies that governments and civil society, as well as the international community, must prioritize young women’s empowerment in all spheres. Each of us can contribute to this in different arenas and thus trigger a large multiplier effect. 

While the challenges are many, today I propose that you focus on the following four critical areas of action: 
1. Empowerment of young women through the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs)
2. Young women and their contributions to peacebuilding processes
3. HIV and AIDS and young women
4. Ending violence against women and girls]]></description>
