U-Report is UNICEF’s digital community for young people, by young people, where they can raise their voices and share opinions on topics that matter to them. Across more than 90 countries, we empower young people to find out about issues that affect them, take action, and become part of the change they want to see. Using real-time insights and solutions, U-Report shapes policies and decisions in communities, countries and around the world, working side-by-side with young people. The U-Report mobile app allows you to connect with millions of young people who are already raising their voices through conversations with U-Report. Your voice matters!
