Amid growing uncertainty and rising unilateralism, global challenges are becoming more complex and interconnected. Now more than ever, young voices are speaking up for a fairer world order.
In a recent episode of "We Talk", we hear from young Syrians about the principle of sovereign equality. Zain Al-Abidin argues that equality should be the bedrock of international relations: no big power should dominate smaller nations, and every country deserves an equal voice in bodies like the United Nations. He believes that genuine equality is key to promoting peace and preventing war.
For Gen Z in South and Southeast Asia, this call might hit close to home. Think about how smaller ASEAN members unite to tackle climate change or digital rights—when every member speaks up, solutions become stronger. Zain's message is clear: global challenges need global voices, not just the loudest ones 🎤✨
As young changemakers in our region, we can support this vision by amplifying diverse perspectives and pushing for inclusive decision-making—online and offline. After all, a world where every nation stands on equal footing is a world where peace has a better chance to thrive 🌍✌️
