The NADA Foundation for Safer Egyptian Roads is organizing several events for World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims which includes a webinar entitled Young Egyptians leading the movement for road traffic safety set on 17 November, 7 PM CET. The session features Global Youth Coalition Youth Advisory Board Member, Omnia el Omrani.
The webinar will focus on youth-led initiatives for road safety, advancing the cause of road safety in Egyptian roads. Through the panelists, the session will help shed light on the challenges and barriers for safer roads and sustainable mobility in Egypt while also discussing the dreams and expectations young leaders have on the future of road safety.
NADA Foundation writes that the session will serve as platform for presenting heroic stories of young people who have decided to translate their interests into actions and initiatives that will help further efforts to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by road crashes.
Omnia joins youth leaders from Transport for Cairo, Car-Sharing app company, Tink, and We Want Bike Lanes Initiative.
Omnia will talk about the importance of meaningful youth participation when it comes to global development issues like road safety. As the Liaison Officer for Public Health Issues for the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations, Omnia takes on road safety through the lens of public health.
As part of the youth advisory board, she will also talk about the Global Youth Coalition for Road Safety and how it provides youth with the resources and platform necessary to lead the road safety movement.
“The role of youth is imperative to end the road safety crisis in Egypt and to shape safer roads and sustainable mobility that protects our health and the health of the environment. I look forward to an inspiring discussion with young Egyptian advocates and their engagement in our Coalition”
