History of New Thinker Youth Civil Organization (NTYCO)
Advocating for youth, gender equality and women's rights
From advocating for gender equality and women’s rights to defending human rights, promoting peace and reconciliation, and supporting vulnerable populations, NTYCO emerged as a leading voice for youth empowerment and social justice in Afghanistan.
One of NTYCO’s landmark initiatives was establishing the Afghanistan Youth Government (AYG) – a simulated government based on the principles of democracy and governance. This innovative program provided a platform for young activists from across Afghanistan to engage in civic activities, promote democratic values, and advocate for the rights and aspirations of Afghan youth.
Throughout its history, NTYCO has organized and managed hundreds of Afghanistan events, rallies, protests, and conferences. Despite facing challenges and threats from insurgent groups, NTYCO remained steadfast in its commitment to defending human rights, promoting peace, and advocating for the interests of Afghanistan’s youth and women.
From publishing books supporting the Afghanistan national army and police to organizing volunteer activities during times of COVID-19 crisis, NTYCO has continuously demonstrated its dedication to serving its community and promoting positive social change.
As NTYCO looks towards the future, it remains committed to its founding principles of youth empowerment, social justice, and community engagement. With a growing membership and a legacy of impactful initiatives, NTYCO continues to be a beacon of hope and inspiration for Afghanistan’s youth – a testament to the power of young people to shape the destiny of their nation.
