“Everyone can be a #changemaker!” At the 6th #nowconf Fahima Elmi encouraged her peers to actively call for change and promoted the participation of young people in the decision making. In 2017, Fahima Elmi was nominee for the International Children’s Peace Prize @KidsRights.
Inspiring words from @Fahima_E, our youngest speaker at #NOWconf. The young activist is part of several organizations advocating for children’s rights. She is especially concerned for those, whose mothers, like her own, had to seek refuge in a women’s shelter.
Fahima Elmi speaks about her experience in a women’s shelter as a child. This turned her into an advocate for improving the living conditions of children in shelters, who even contributed to a Dutch parliament decision. She says: Talk – and listen – to the young people! #NOWconf
Sparkling Inputs from Fahima Elmi: sharing her experiences of having her voice heard on children’s rights violations: why is our voice less important than adults’ voices?
Inspirational words from International Children’s Peace Prize nominee Fatima Elmi on why youth inclusion is essential for society. “Small changes can have a big impact. There is a power in uniting young people.” #CivicEngagement#NOWConf
Politicians tend to overlook vulnerable children, children with disabilities, or living in shelters, they should also have their voice heard says Fahima Elmi, nominee #InternationalChildrensPeacePrize: we can all be changemakers! #nowconf
Die 17-jährige Fahima Elmi beeindruckt die TeilnehmerInnen der 6. Act Now Mayors Conference mit dem Schwerpunkt Youth Participation. „It angers me that so often politics is being made for young people, not with them!” Word! #NOWconf
