Goal 16: Peace and justice


Listen Later

In 2015 the United Nations announced a radical plan to change the world.

Global leaders drew up a list of 17 "sustainable development goals" to create a blueprint for a better future. The goals cover things like gender equality, health provision, a good education and much more. We've asked 17-year-olds from 17 different countries tell us what they think needs to change if the world is to meet those goals by 2030.
Seventeen-year-old Israel is a member of the Otomi indigenous community. He lives in Mexico City but he faces police harassment when he works selling sweets and cigarettes on the streets of the capital. For Project 17 Israel went to meet an Otomi woman who was arrested and sent to jail after being picked up by the police - and he talks to indigenous activists fighting for equal access to justice for all Mexicans.
