Ishaan Shah

Youth Ambassador

Country: UK

At the age of 13, Ishaan Shah co-founded Stolen Dreams, a youth-led collective working with stakeholders internationally to end modern slavery and human trafficking through education, advocacy, and policy. Ishaan serves as an advisor (the youngest) to the Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking with a specific focus on addressing forced labour in supply chains. He also advises several UN agencies with a focus on monitoring, supporting, and strengthening intergovernmental processes, including UN Women, the UN Youth Office, UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), UN Network on Migration, UNESCO, and UN Foundation. Through this work, Ishaan is ensuring gender equality, human rights, and the meaningful engagement of young people are centred across decision-making processes at all levels.
