Global Forum for Adolescents Global Adolescent Girl Leadership Town Hall

6 July 2023 15:00 – 16:00 CET

The Global Adolescent Girl Leadership Town Hall is an initiative driven and organized by adolescent girl leaders from around the world, with the support of UN Women and the 1.8 Billion Young People for Change campaign, youth and adolescent organizations, and other UN Agencies. Its primary focus is on promoting adolescent girl leadership and ensuring girl-led accountability. Each Town Hall event is dedicated to addressing the challenges and opportunities that adolescent leaders face in intergovernmental and multilateral forums. These gatherings provide a platform for girls and gender-diverse adolescents who are 19 years old and under to share their visions, ideas, and messages.

The Global Forum for Adolescents (GFA) Town Hall took place on 6 July 2023 and served as a platform to present recommendations on increasing financial, political, and programmatic commitments, as well as ensuring accountability, with a specific focus on the health and well-being of adolescents.

PMNCH Executive Director, Helga Fogstad spoke at the event.
