MYAN’s Policy Advocacy & Research drives systemic change for young people by generating evidence, amplifying youth voices, and influencing the policies and structures that shape their lives. Through youth‑informed research, strategic policy submissions, and national advocacy, MYAN identifies emerging issues, challenges inequities, and champions the rights and interests of young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. This work ensures that decision‑makers are guided by lived experience, robust data, and a commitment to creating fair, inclusive systems where all young people can thrive.
