Young survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing are flying to New York to speak at a United Nations congress for victims of terrorism.
The UN Global Congress of Victims of Terrorism - being held on September 8 and 9 at the UN's headquarters in Manhattan - is designed to provide a platform for victims to share their experiences and challenges - and tell their stories of resilience following tragedy. Crucially, it also aims to ensure victims' voices are heard and their needs met in terms of ongoing healthcare and support.
Nine young Manchester survivors will attend the international conference, alongside United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, civil society organisations, experts and academics.
