Farida Michael William, head of the organization "You Matter" for the support and qualification of women in the Republic of South Sudan, told Algeria Press Service APS on the sidelines of the 4th African Youth Forum that her organization is working to advance the status of women in the country, especially young women, with a view to boosting educational and vocational training opportunities.

She further explained that the "You Matter" organization has initiated a range of programs to educate women, and provided special opportunities for teaching women with hearing or visual disabilities, so as to facilitate their integration into society.

Participants at the 4th African Youth Forum in Oran viewed the event as an opportunity to raise the most pressing concerns of African youth and to ensure their voice and their issues are heard.
