Presentation by Floor Lieshout on DeclarationsYOURS_YforRS
Advocacy involves actively supporting an idea or cause to persuade others of its importance. A declaration can help a group align around shared advocacy points but must be implemented to have impact. Youth advocates can meet with ministers and officials to promote declarations like the 2007 UN Youth Declaration for Road Safety, which addressed issues like drink driving laws and youth road safety involvement through various distribution and follow up efforts.

This document provides guidance for youth organizations on disseminating the findings of post-2015 youth consultations to influence the global development agenda. 346 young people in 12 countries were consulted about their vision for a post-2015 world.

10. Problem Statement
Road Traffic crashes are the leading cause of
death among young people, aged 15-24
years old.
Every year, road traffic crashes kill more than
400.000 young people and injure millions
more.
Introduction to the Global
April 2009 Youth NGO for Road 10
11. Problem Statement
In order to change this situation, young people face several challenges:
• A lack of awareness and recognition in the world of the vulnerable position of young
people in traffic.
• A lack of global coordination and collaboration among youth and youth-led NGO's
and their road safety initiatives.Youth road safety initiatives remain small-scaled and
scattered.
• A lack of one strong voice to advocate on the behalf of youth and road safety.
• A lack of resources for youth road safety programmes.
• A lack of a next generation of leaders who are passionate about road safety and
involved in decision making within the road safety field.
• A lack of capacity building. Road safety knowledge and best practices from youth
initiatives are not shared in a broader network. Besides this, programmes targeting
youth and road safety are commonly not evidence-based.
Introduction to the Global
April 2009 Youth NGO for Road 11
12. Beliefs and values
We believe...
• that road crashes are preventable
• road safety does not stop at our borders
• in the high potential of youth
• it is young people themselves who can be at the
forefront of making a difference
• that we can mobilize, inspire and engage young people
• in supporting each other as road safety role models
• in peer-to-peer communication
• in a positive approach
