Marian Camacho, youth representative emphasized the importance for youth with disabilities to be engaged in policy and decision-making. Importantly, youth should be provided with opportunities to learn about their rights and how to participate, so that new opportunities for engagement are created.
We need to develop participatory methodologies to figure out how to integrate those technologies, Apps, Smartphones to educate, integrate and empower youth to participate.
Family members should also be involved in identifying opportunities. She mentioned a project called "Tell it to me", using an App to inform deaf young people about their sexual and reproductive rights using sign language.
She has also mentioned round tables to break down to young people about the CRPD, understanding what it means "in real life". Children, woman should be enabled to come together to ensure that States are developing initiatives that include them.
