BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW YOUTH
CARAVAN
The nation is at a crossroad.
Bringing
to life the promise of our island is beginning to unfold with the Bangsamoro
Basic Law. For so long, the conflict in Mindanao brought about by historical
injustices feeds itself in a vicious cycle of poverty, inequality and lack of
opportunities. A fundamental structural change is necessary in order to break
this cycle and build stronger institutions for the Bangsamoro.
The
Bangsamoro Basic Law is the fruit of the years of struggle and negotiations
between the different stakeholders in Mindanao. Finally after thorough
deliberations from its Annexes to the drafting of the basic law itself, we are
seeing hope that indeed we can build lasting peace in our beloved Island.
In
this light, the Muslim Youth Council is taking the initiative together with he
ONE-CDO, AYLIM, B35, affiliates of the Oro Youth Development Council to conduct
a citywide Youth Caravan on the Bangsamoro Basic Law on the month of January to
March.
The
Youth Caravan has two phases. The first phase aims to visit at least 4 big
colleges and universities around the city. The second phase aims to conduct at
least 4 community-level advocacy drives in the different barangays of the city.
The
main objective of this caravan is to raise the level of awareness on the
content and implication of the Bangsamoro Basic Law among the youth. It also
aims to increase their sense of ownership and stake in building a lasting peace
in Mindanao.
The
youth should take great strides in insuring that they do not only only inherit
an peaceful island, but also become active players today in building a more
just and equitable Mindanao.
