الناشطون الشباب العالميون في الذكرى السنوية الثانية لحملة HeForShe

New York, NY (September 20, 2016) – Five gender equality youth activists traveled to New York for the HeForShe second anniversary to share their personal stories about why they are committed to change and what they are doing to make it happen. Hailing from all over the world - Indonesia, Pakistan, Canada, USA and Cameroon - these young people inspired the MoMA audience with their commitment and passion. At times in the face of great obstacles, these five youth continue to spread the HeForShe message in their schools and communities.
