This research document \u00a0provides an overview of statistics on young persons with disabilities aged 15 to 24, identifies the main barriers for their participation in decision-making spaces, and highlights the efforts and challenges of the UN system in promoting their rights. The targeted recommendations pave the way for UN and government entities alike to work together with young persons with disabilities and bolster their meaningful engagement in decision-making processes at all levels\u2014with social accountability at the heart of these efforts.<\/p>\n
