Union of Lebanese Democratic Youth- ULDY
The Union of Lebanese Democratic Youth, a non-profit organization established in Lebanon in 1970, dedicates itself to the issue of democracy and youth. ULDY's strategic aim is to mobilize the youth, women and men around issues related to social awareness, community participation and democracy in a country that had been fragmented by sectarianism and civil strife. ULDY is currently implementing its developmental projects and programmes all over Lebanon, ensuring an even spread of its purposes and ideas.

ULDY's major objectives and goals include:
 
- Increasing public and political participation of the youth.
- Addressing the problems of unemployment, poverty and housing, and protecting the rights of local working forces from foreign competition.
- Achieving Gender equality and gender mainstreaming through effective workplans and strategies, in collaboration with other grassroots NGOs and women organizations in Lebanon.
- Supporting women's rights, advocating against the use of violence in all its aspects, and 

eliminating all forms of discrimination against women in conformation with the CEDAW 
convention and the clauses of Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
- Conducting qualitative studies and analyses to reach possible solutions for environmental problems in Lebanon.
- Improving public schools and universities; in terms of curricula and structure-maintenance.
- Conducting campaigns to induce awareness of children's rights among parents, children, youth and adults.
