Youth-led protests, accountability and the future of democratic participation
1.1 Minutes
Podcast: IAF Continued Conversations

Around the world, young people are taking to the streets to challenge failing governance systems, rising living costs and limited opportunities. These Gen Z movements share a common call for accountability, transparency and a political system that reflects their realities and expectations. 

In this episode of IAF Continued Conversations, hosts Arpita Nepal and Rainer Heufers speak with Kathya Berrada from Morocco and Dhananath Fernando from Sri Lanka about the rise of Gen Z Movements across the Global South. Together, they explore what sparked these youth-driven uprisings, how economic pressures and governance failures shaped public anger, and why younger generations increasingly distrust traditional political structures. Drawing on recent developments from Colombo to Casablanca, the conversation highlights how societies respond when young citizens demand accountability, transparency and a new political mindset.
