What is Youth Advocacy Forum

The Youth Advocacy Forum was established as a platform where global policies are discussed and local and international advocacy agendas are developed and offer important opportunities for the youth across the World to take joint action against addictions every year. With the novel global youth project, the Green Crescent brings together the youth from various cultures, religions, languages, races and nationalities from all over the world to prevent addictions, promoting healthy living, and developing their advocacy skills. Powerful organizations such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Istanbul Initiative support the forum organized by the Green Crescent. Join us in this global event, where you will encounter profound insights and enriching encounters in the field of addictions.
