Ahlam Saeed is a Jordanian/Palestinian Youth Representative, Human rights advocate and a recent awardee of Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship in Social Policy MA in Hungary. For Ahlam, democracy takes on a deeply personal and aspirational meaning for a young Muslim woman of Palestinian refugee descent who is passionate about human rights. It becomes a vehicle for her to navigate, challenge, and contribute to the societal landscape in pursuit of justice, equity, and the realization of fundamental human rights. Democracy provides a platform for my voice to be heard and concerns to be represented. It offers a mechanism for us to actively engage in decision-making processes that impact our life and the lives of our community represents hope for positive change
