Bold. Passionate. Feminist. 3 words to describe youth-activist Zainab in a nutshell. . As a @u_report_global Ambassador, Zainab has been at the forefront of the #YourVoiceYourFuture campaign by the European Union, African Union and @Unicef, which gathered the views of 450,000 young people across the 2 continents. . “I think many people want to change the world. I always tell people ‘Yes you can! You can change the world!’ You don’t have to be a president to change the world,” she says. “In my immediate environment, I try to make sure that I leave a lasting impact on whatever situation I find myself in. I try to encourage and guide people – especially younger girls. I try to lead by example and show them that they are capable of achieving whatever they work towards.” . Her motto in life? Simple: "Don’t lose. I interpret it as resilience. Whatever situation I find myself in, I refuse to accept the loser status. I’ve either won or I’ve learned.” . We are #InspiredByHer! Young people like Zainab have a right to be involved in decisions which affect them. That's why we are establishing a #YouthSoundingBoard on EU International Partnerships, under the leadership of Commissioner @juttaurpilainen. The Youth Sounding Board will provide young people from all over the world with a platform to shape and influence the EU's external action, ensuring #YouthVoices are heard and listened to.
