YOURS - Youth for Road Safety
Road crashes are the leading killer of young people. More than 1000 young people die every day, thousands more are injured. YOURS is a youth-led organisation that acts to make the world´s roads safe for young people.
The creation of YOURS is a direct follow-up to the 2007 World Youth Assembly. One of the main wishes identified as a follow-up to the Assembly was the establishment of a global youth network. T hat informal network has evolved into YOURS.
Vision
"A world where young people do not die or get injurred in traffic"
Mission
"YOURS is a unique global youth led organization that acts to keep young people safe on the world’s roads.´
Beliefs and Values
We are the world´s young people, it is unacceptable that we continue to die and get injured on the world´s roads. Knowing that:
- road traffic injuries are preventable
- the global road safety crisis will only get worse if we don´t act now.
