Kabul University

 Young people today belong to the largest generation of youth the world has ever known. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has encouraged UN Member States, youth-led organizations and other stakeholders to act to promote the rights of all young people and maximize the development potential of youth around the world. Afghanistan has a large number of young people, with over two-thirds of its population estimated to be under 25 years of age. Shown here are young students at Kabul University.
