On January 10, USIP hosted a discussion on the dynamics of women and youth activism in contemporary nonviolent movements. The conversation featured researchers and activists as they reflect on why participation from women and young people helps movements succeed, how women and youth participation in civic movements has evolved over time, and the challenges that women and youth face in their efforts to build better futures.
