African Youth Charter

The African Youth Charter is a legal framework adopted by African Union member states to promote the rights, development, and empowerment of young people aged 15 to 35. It aims to ensure youth participation in decision-making processes, access to quality education and employment, and protection from violence and discrimination. The Charter emphasizes the importance of youth leadership and active engagement in shaping the future of their communities and countries. By setting these guidelines, it seeks to create an environment where young Africans can thrive and contribute to sustainable development across the continent.
