About Youth Takeover
This June, Reach Not Preach is collaborating together with Missing Perspective and the young people in its network to amplify the voices of young women on the topic of Climate Action.
Missing Perspectives is a global platform founded with one mission: to address the marginalisation of young women in both news coverage and decision-making around the world.
Today, we are fearful, isolated, and threatened, but through these past few weeks of adjusting to COVID-19, and the few years of responding and acting to the climate crisis, and our experience organising for climate action, we have learned to be hopeful, connected and resilient. .
