Gender Equality Working Group of UNYA Copenhagen

UNYA Denmark is a youth-led (15-35 y.o.) non-profit organization that works to promote and raise awareness amongst youth about the United Nations, as well as UN-affiliated causes, values, and issues. UNYA is a place where empathetic, passionate youth can show up, engage, and learn about the world through the lens of global development. The aim is to enable the youth with ideas on how to improve the state of the world or support those who do. At UNYA, young people are provided with the right tools to impact their local community and to give voice to their opinions.

As the Gender Equality Working Group of UNYA Copenhagen, we aim to raise awareness for the goals and implications of SDG 5. We are doing this through advocacy as well as planning relevant projects, events, and workshops that touch upon topics related to SDG 5 and its objectives.
