In response to a WYND's call for celebrating the day in Bangladesh, Civic Youth Network for Democracy (CYND), a youth network of Civic Bangladesh, a civil society organisation committed to the advancement of democracy, will bring out a rally at 10:00am from National Museum at Shahbagh and organise a rally at 11:00am in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the city today.

The WYMD is a youth wing of World Movement for Democracy (WMD). The Global Youth Democracy Campaign was launched in 2005. The WYMD participants have since been working around the world to promote and deepen democracy as well as inspiring the people in general.

The campaign mobilises youths to participate in non-violent actions to promote democratic values and concepts, educates them about the importance of human rights, press freedom, active citizenship and raises awareness of the positive contributions youth are making to democracy in the world.

This year, the World Youth Day for Democracy focuses on highlighting what youth are already doing in their communities to help get a better idea of the diversity of youth contributions to the building of democracy.

In this global context of democratic movement, Civic Bangladesh calls upon the young democracy activists to take part in celebrating the World Youth Day for Democracy in Bangladesh as part of the Global Youth Democracy Campaign.
