Youth Initiative organized discussion on, "Youth and Democracy", with participants from diverse backgrounds to explore the vital role of young people in shaping democratic values.Over two hours, attendees engaged in meaningful dialogues about the current state of democracy and the responsibilities of youth in advocating for change. Participants highlighted key issues, including the misuse of power by political leaders and the need for accountability in governance. They expressed concerns that many youth lack a fundamental understanding of the policies. Furthermore, the influence of political affiliations on media representation was scrutinized, emphasizing the necessity for impartiality in reporting. Youth must be empowered to voice their dissent against injustices and actively participate in the electoral process. As the discussion wrapped up, it became clear that youth must rise as catalysts for democratic purification. By rejecting the status quo and demanding transparency, they can help reshape a political landscape that truly represents the aspirations of all citizens. The future of democracy relies on the active involvement of young people, who must embrace their power to effect meaningful change.
