The feature specifically highlighted our developed program and textbook created based on the survey we conducted in 15 conflict-affected countries/regions: Book for Unique Agents of Peace - A practical framework to support and amplify the power of hidden youth. This guidebook is aimed at empowering YANSAG as Unique Agents of Peace in complex environments, such as prisons, rehabilitation centers, detention centers, and marginalized communities.

GTY remains committed to international advocacy for the recognition and promotion of the rights and empowerment of YANSAG to enable each individual to realize their potential as a peacebuilder.
*Youth Associated with Non-State Armed Groups: The term “YANSAG” is defined as “any person aged between 18-35 years, though not strictly limited to this age range, who is or who has been recruited or used by a NSAG (Non-State Armed Group) in any capacity.” The status includes various forms of YANSAG, such as defectors, prisoners, detainees, returnees, and ex-combatants.
