A nationwide "School Walkout Day" has been proposed for later this week to protest sexual harassment in schools. We look at the growing strength of youth movements and protests, by first speaking with the National School Walkout Alliance about why they're organising the protest. Then, we discuss various youth-led movements and their impact, both locally and around the world. Finally, we look at how young people can be empowered to speak up and participate in causes.
