We, the youth of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, united on the battlefields of Solferino, reaffirm the vision of 31-year-old Henry Dunant. His vision of humanity has changed the world and united us under common emblems of hope. 150 years later, his fleeting idea has evolved into a global humanitarian movement of 100 million Red Cross Red Crescent volunteers.
We, the youth of 150 countries, representing the 50 million youth volunteers of the Movement, have gathered to define our vision of humanity and to address the Solferinos of today. Poverty, conflict, violence, migration, disease, discrimination and climate change are some of the challenges that still cause suffering for hundreds of millions of people across the world.
