Defending Life and Family Values at the United Nations and Beyond

The International Youth Coalition (IYc) offers a forum for young people to discuss today’s most controversial topics and challenge cultural norms that undermine the dignity of the human person.

Through their writing talent and outreach, IYc members make their case in defense of life and family values in an increasingly secular world.

Parent Organization

The IYc operates under its parent organization, the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam). The Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam) is a community of public policy professionals that bring interdisciplinary research and analysis to inform the international social policy debate. Since its founding in New York in 1997, C-Fam remains the only pro-life and pro-family organization working exclusively on international social policy.

C-Fam conducts, promotes, and publishes legal and policy research analyzing timely issues in international relations, development and humanitarian assistance, law, medicine, political philosophy, and security studies.

“As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.”

— Pope John Paul II
