Aashna Parsa, 14 YO founder of Youth for Neurodiversity Inc., an delegate, was selected for policy testimony on May 22, 2026 at Luskin. holds one of world’s largest conferences empowering young changemakers to advance peace, security, multilateralism, and policy engagement.

Advocating for strengths-based neurodiversity and disability inclusion in the United Nations’ Youth, Peace and Security agenda & Global Youth Goals Framework, Aashna said, “Nearly 1 in 5 young people are neurodivergent, have learning differences, or are differently-abled, yet we disproportionately face bullying, isolation, depression, and su***de risk. The greatest barrier to peace in our communities is not our differences—it is stigma, bullying, ableism, and exclusion...We must go beyond awareness and acceptance to real belonging. Because when we embrace every mind and every body, we don’t just create inclusion–we build lasting peace.”
