Bronwyn Kili

With an aim to target this population, UN Women together with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) hosted a free mini concert yesterday, in collaboration with the Sanap Wantaim Youth.

The public concert was used as a platform to push the message that every person has a role to uphold human rights in the country.

“…to find out what these rights are, what they mean to us and to bring change to the country. A lot of issues we face today are linked to human rights violation, especially violence against women, which we advocate against,” she said. 

Here in the nation’s capital, the Sanap Wantaim Campaign group in collaboration with a number of non-government organizations supported by the National Capital District Commission office commemorated the day at the Waigani Central, ‘Stop N Shop’ car park.

An outdoor stage was set up; alongside tents housing the different NGO’s with the general public invited to visit the stalls and collect informative brochures and pamphlets.

The theme for this year is “Youth building Peace.”

Bronwyn Kili, 19, who represented the country at the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum early this year at the United Nations, had gained insight into SDGs and committed to generate a movement for SDGs among youth.

Having worked as a peer educator at the Youth Adolescent Health Club (YAH) and Young Women Christian Association (YWCA) for years, Bronwyn, at the age of 19, has a rich experience in educating and engaging youth.
