All around the world, it seems, gen Z are in revolt.

In the past few months, young protesters have taken to the streets in countries from Nepal to Peru, Madagascar to the Philippines, Morocco to Indonesia.

As Dr Nayana Prakash explains, these countries might seem like they have little in common, but protesters around the world are learning from one another all the same. And with a pirate flag meme from Japanese anime, they have a common symbol, too.

Today in Focus speaks to protesters in Morocco, Madagascar and Nepal to hear what it’s like for these gen Zers taking action.

And where, asks Nosheen Iqbal, do these movements go next?
