It is crucial for states to ensure youth empowerment in politics, and to create avenues for engaging young citizens by also reducing barriers for their political and economic participation. MBOpinions READ:
On June 19, we observed Filipino Youth Day, coinciding with the birth anniversary of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, who was convinced that the youth is the hope of our nation.
Moreover, youth engagement is critical in building strong democracies. In the Democracy and Security Dialogue report of the Community of Democracies , it was highlighted that youth empowerment is vital in countering violent extremism.

The CoD also released the Youth Recommendations to Increase Engagement in Democracy, based on the best practices for youth engagement and participation discussed during the 2021 Summit for Democracy.
