UN Engagement
Every year during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) High-Level Week, BacharLorai Global (BLG) engages in global diplomacy, advocacy, and multi-stakeholder dialogue. As an accredited UN Department of Global Communications entity, BLG leverages UNGA week to bridge the gap between grassroots realities in the Global Majority and high-level policy spaces. During these gatherings, BLG hosts parallel side events, presents evidence-based policy briefs from our Policy Residency program, and leads targeted panel discussions with youth, civil society leaders, and international partners. Our delegation actively participates in UN-sponsored summits to advocate for gender equity, public health access, economic inclusion, and climate resilience.
