🕊️ From Combatants to Peacebuilders: A Powerful Conversation 🕊️

What happens when former youth combatants become agents of peace?
Join us for an essential dialogue featuring: ✨ Abdul Wahid Sesay – Member of Global Taskforce for Youth Combatants (GTY), Former Combatant of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in Sierra Leone ✨ Julien Vikemba – co-founder of Sote Pamoja RDC, expert in rehabilitation and reintegration of former combatants.

Moderated by Atma Kaur Narinder, Social Impact Director

These are the voices the world needs to hear. Youth with lived experience of armed conflict aren't just survivors—they're some of the most powerful changemakers in peacebuilding. Yet they're too often overlooked or seen only as threats.

✨Let's change that narrative together.✨

🤝 Co-hosted by Global Taskforce for Youth Combatants & Charter for Compassion.
