National Forum of Rural Youth
The National Forum of Rural Youth was held on September 2014 and brought together 300 young women and men from rural areas of the South Amazon, North Amazon, North and South Altiplano, Valles and Chaco. The objective was to propose that the Youth Law be supplemented by its proposals, considering that the law does not reflect the needs, demands and proposals of this group. After sharing their realities, participants identified common problems in the rural areas they inhabit: (lack of) access to education and health, discrimination by adults, migration, absence of information regarding drugs and alcohol consumption, and sexual rights as well as reproductive services to prevent diseases and pregnancies at a very early age, among others. The document produced at this forum has the name "Proposals for an Agenda of the Rural Youth of Bolivia".
