The International Union of Socialist Youth, founded in 1907, is the biggest political youth organization in the world representing about 140 member organizations from more than 100 countries. IUSY is the Youth of the Socialist International (SI). It brings together the socialist, social democratic and labour political youth organizations from around the world in order to fight for freedom and human rights, ending all forms of discrimination, social justice and democracy, and peaceful solutions to political problems. IUSY works by developing and strengthening its member organizations in different countries, supporting new organizations, publishing bulletins, and organizing international youth gatherings each year.
The IUSY as a political party youth organization cooperates with all worker’s movements and progressive organizations in the world. IUSY also cooperates with many international institutions in order to develop policy but also to gain support for projects and activities.
IUSY is an international youth NGO with UN ECOSOC consultative status since 1993.

Famous quotes containing the words union, socialist and/or youth:
“My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind—intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Men conceive themselves as morally superior to those with whom they differ in opinion. A Socialist who thinks that the opinions of Mr. Gladstone on Socialism are unsound and his own sound, is within his rights; but a Socialist who thinks that his opinions are virtuous and Mr. Gladstone’s vicious, violates the first rule of morals and manners in a Democratic country; namely, that you must not treat your political opponent as a moral delinquent.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“A glimpse through an interstice caught,
Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a barroom around the stove late of a winter night, and I unremarked seated in a corner,
Of a youth who loves me and whom I love, silently approaching and seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand,
A long while amid the noises of coming and going, of drinking and
oath and smutty jest,
There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little,
perhaps not a word.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
