Youth Tax Justice Network!
Youth Tax Justice Network (YTJN)is group of youth and students concerned with the issues of tax justice. It was formed as an outcome of the 2007 World Social Forum, we work alongside the international Tax Justice Network and its sister networks. We seek to link young people into the campaign for a global financial system that enables citizen representation, sustainable fiscal policy, and more equitable societies. Built upon the main precepts of the wider international Tax Justice Network, the Youth Tax Justice Network aims:
* to promote links between interested youth and students around the world, particularly involving developing countries; * to raise the level of awareness about the secretive world of offshore finance and its effects; * to foster a debate among students and youth on issues related to taxation and global finance; * to provide a platform for building and sharing research; * to encourage, support, and document local, national, and international campaign activity; * to record the coverage of tax justice issues in university and other curricula; * to link YTJN activities to the wider international network
In pursuance of the above aims the YTJN has published its first ever Newsletter: Our Voices available for download in pdf at [1]here. All articles can also be found on that same website as well as our campaigns page [2]here.
The groups official website is [3]here.
