Youths who identify as LGBTQI face a higher risk of discrimination both at home and in public, so youth activists are calling on adults to be more proactive in providing support and empathy for LGBTQI youths.
The call was made at "Tomorrow's Leader on Stage: All About Love", an event organised by the United Nations Development Programme and five other youth organisations, in an attempt to increase public awareness of the importance of engagement and inclusion of all youths in leadership roles across society.
