Youth deserve respect. Today, they are perceived only as part of the problem. Valuing young people means they are part of the solution and are included in the development of programs and policies that affect their well-being. It is our youth who are going to progressively change the world of the future, reduce suffering, and make it a more peaceful place for both human and nonhuman animals.
