Manifesto of Youth

Manifesto of Youth

Youth has the right to a decent life, culture, education and peace. We therefore demand:

1. Adequate Government bursaries with living allowances to enable all higher education to be completed without economic hardship.

2. Daylight technical training with full facilities for apprentices.

3. For women and young workers equal pay for equal work produced.

In fighting for these "demands we recognise that they can only be fulfilled through a period of lasting peace. We therefore call upon you to unite against conscription and fight for such a peace.
