The Arab Youth Union was founded in 1974 and has the following aims and objectives: to seek, defend and protect youth issues represented in political, socio-economic and cultural rights; to defend the fundamental political freedom of Arab youth and promote their democratic rights of organisation, expression and representation on the basis of the AYU’s objectives and to defend Arab youth rights for equal access to education, training, employment, health, housing and proper development. The AYU also encourages youth initiatives aimed at developing the youth movement within the Arab world and supports activities in the fields of technology, science, sports, voluntary service, literature and issues related to the spirit of initiative and creativity among young people. The Arab Youth Union has 33 member organisations and its General Congress meets every 4 years, complemented by a Central Council that meets once a year.
