ISSUE 3 | May 2025
All contributions in this issue of the TRANSFORM News Magazine come from young people who participated in the inaugural TRANSFORM Transnational Summit, held in Durban from February 13–16, 2025. This edition opens with the curatorial statement from the first TRANSFORM Travelling Exhibition "Youth United Will Never Be Defeated."
Youth United Will Never be Defeated We are a group of young people from different communities around the world, including Canada, Malawi, Mali, Mexico, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and Tanzania. This exhibition features photographs taken young people from our communities about gender issues that matter to us. The photos tell a story of our experiences, emotions, and struggles. In talking about the challenges that we face in different countries, we can see how similar we are even though the issues might look a little bit different. Working together as agents of change, we have a larger and wider perspective and are coming up with solutions. Change starts with us. The more we come together, the more our voices become louder. Photovoice gives us a platform to share and discuss our knowledge in our communities and with our leaders, and to hold them accountable. We are inspired for change, knowing that we’re not the only ones facing these kinds of problems. As young people how do we come together to confront the challenges we face? As community members? As leaders? What is your contribution in changing the societal problems we are facing? Why should anyone be silent when there is a lot that they can say? When will change occur? Will it be centuries, or months? What can you do to spread love, not hate? Our photos urge you to be a part of our vision for change. After reading the captions, don’t just keep it in your head: Be open-minded. Be willing to hear and adapt. Start by making a small change. Go out and take action. Learn what strategies exist. Implement policies. Work across generations, so that change can be sustainable.
