Celebrating International Youth Day 2026

纪念2026年国际青年日

On International Youth Day, we celebrate the energy, creativity and leadership of young people around the world. This year's theme, “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations”, reminds us that while young people live in different circumstances, they share common hopes for good health, dignity, opportunity and a sustainable future.

国际青年日，我们看到世界各地年轻人的活力、创造力和领导力。今年的主题是 “多元文化，同一愿景 ”，主题展示了年轻人虽然生活在不同的环境中，但他们对未来有着共同的希望——健康的体魄、不亢的尊严、向上的机会以及可持续发展的人类社会。

Yet for millions of young people, preventable and treatable diseases continue to stand in the way of these aspirations. HIV, tuberculosis (TB), viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) continue to affect the health, well-being and futures of millions of adolescents and young people. Despite important progress, preventable infections, illness and deaths persist, and access to prevention, testing, treatment and care remains unequal.

然而，对他们来说，一些疾病阻碍了这些愿望，而这些疾病却是可以提前预防甚至被治疗的。艾滋病毒、结核病、病毒性肝炎和性传播感染不断影响数百万青少年和年轻人的健康、福祉和未来。尽管学界取得了重要进展，可这些可预防的感染、疾病和死亡依然存在，获得预防、检测、治疗和护理的机会仍然不平等。

These inequities are particularly acute for young people from key and vulnerable populations – including young men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers and people who use drugs – as well as young people affected by poverty, displacement and other forms of marginalization. Stigma and discrimination, gender inequality, violence, poverty and restrictive social and legal environments can further limit access to youth-responsive prevention, testing, treatment and care.

这些不平等现象对于那些来自特殊群体和弱势群体——包括男男性行为者、变性人、性工作者和吸毒者——以及受贫困、流离失所和其他形式边缘化影响的年轻人来说尤其严重。污名化和歧视、性别不平等、暴力、贫困以及资源受限的社会现象和法律环境会进一步导致青年无法获得预防、检测、治疗和护理。

Yet young people are not only affected by these challenges; they are helping to solve them.

然而，年轻人不是站在原地，被动受着这些影响；他们也在努力解决这些问题。

Through WHO’s 1+1 Initiative, more than 90 000 young people have joined the global effort to end TB by raising awareness, challenging stigma and mobilizing communities for stronger action. What began as a movement to mobilize young people around TB has become a powerful demonstration of what is possible when young people are given the opportunity, knowledge and platforms to lead. Building on this momentum, WHO is expanding the 1+1 Initiative across HIV, TB, viral hepatitis and STIs, creating a broader platform to amplify young people’s voices and strengthen their leadership across these interconnected disease areas.

通过世卫组织的 1+1 倡议，9 万多名年轻人为减少甚至消灭肺结核采取了更有力的行动，他们强化对疾病的认识、抵制疾病污名化和动员各地居民加入这场活动。最初这场运动只是为了动员年轻人关注结核病，而现在的热度恰恰有力地证明了，有知识武装的年轻人获得平台和机会时，就有无限可能。在这一基础上，世卫组织正在将 1+1 倡议扩展到艾滋病毒、结核病、病毒性肝炎和性传播感染方面。希望创造一个更广泛的平台，以扩大年轻人的声音，并加强他们在这些相关领域的领导力。

On International Youth Day, WHO calls on young people everywhere to turn common aspirations into collective action.

之所以设立国际青年日，就是世卫组织呼吁世界各地的年轻人将共同愿望转化为集体行动的窗口。

Raise awareness. Start conversations about HIV, TB, viral hepatitis and STIs in your schools, universities, workplaces, communities and networks.

要强化年轻人对这些疾病的认知，要开始在中学、大学、工位、社区和互联网上传播关于艾滋病毒、结核病、病毒性肝炎和性传播感染的知识。

Stay informed and share trusted information. Use WHO’s evidence and resources on HIV, TB, hepatitis and STIs to learn about prevention, testing, treatment and care, and help counter misinformation.

年轻人要时刻关注相关权威信息并与同伴交流。利用世卫组织发布的关于艾滋病毒、结核病、肝炎和性传播感染的信息和资源，了解如何预防、检测、治疗和护理，并纠正之前对此的错误认知。

Challenge stigma and discrimination. Support everyone's right to respectful, confidential and people-centred health services.

世卫组织鼓励挑战污名和歧视，支持捍卫每个人被尊重、被保密和以人为本的卫生服务的权利。

Use your voice and leadership. Help shape the policies, programmes and services that affect your health, and ensure that young people-especially those most affected-have a meaningful role in decision-making. Bring youth perspectives into decision-making and help ensure that the voices of those most affected are heard.

鼓励年轻人要积极发声、勇敢领导。世卫组织帮助制定利于健康的政策、方案和服务，并确保年轻人——尤其是那些受影响最大的年轻人——在决策中发挥积极作用。要将青年的观点纳入决策，并确保受影响最大的人的声音被听到。

Young people are not only the leaders of tomorrow. They are partners and leaders in the global health response today. Their voices, innovative ideas and leadership are essential to ending HIV, TB, viral hepatitis and STIs and building a healthier, and more equitable future for all.

年轻人不仅是未来的领导者，更是当今全球卫生应对措施的参与者和领头人。他们的新声音、新想法和新领导对于防治艾滋病、结核病、病毒性肝炎和性传播感染至关重要，是建设一个更健康、更公平的未来的关键。
