Youth Voices Calling for Safer Vehicles and Smarter Policies

As part of our advocacy efforts, YOURS joined over 30 organisations in signing a joint letter to Dr. Juan Carlos Muñoz, President of the 2025 ITF Summit and Chile’s Minister of Transport. The letter urged ministers to protect and strengthen global vehicle safety regulations — not weaken them.

The key asks included:

1. Encouraging Trade Ministers to avoid negotiating vehicle safety standards in trade deals

2. Supporting global collaboration through the UN World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations

3. Ensuring that recent progress in safety standards is reinforced and not reversed

This action, in collaboration with partners like Global NCAP, reinforced our shared belief: safer vehicles save lives — especially young lives — and must be prioritised globally.
