🚨 What are young people worried about in North Macedonia? 🚨 In a world where security is a growing concern, understanding the fears of young people is crucial for building a safer society. Our recent report asked young people in 🇲🇰 what worries them most, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most concerning. The results? 🕵️ Organized crime (7.1/10) 🌪️ Natural disasters (6.9/10) 💥 Armed conflict in the Western Balkans (6.7/10) ⚽ Surprisingly, violent sports fans rank as the lowest concern at 5.7/10. ⚠️ Why does this matter? Because the security landscape of tomorrow will be shaped by the concerns of today's youth. If we fail to listen, we risk ignoring the real dangers they feel—and leaving critical vulnerabilities unaddressed. Their voices can guide us in creating policies that reflect their reality, not ours. Read the report of the OSCE Mission to Skopje 👉 https://lnkd.in/dS69akAN
