We are all immigrants
We are all immigrants, don’t be ashamed. We all came from different lands and mountains. We established civilizations across our borders and we moved beyond oceans to discover the unknown. We are all immigrants, don’t be ashamed. It’s in our nature to wander, to move and to walk across wide lands and limitless borders. Deep down the oceans, where ancient ships sleep, you can see it yourself. Every part of the ship would tell you a story of a human, who was looking for new discoveries and new opportunities. My country Tunisia is 3000 years old; it has witnessed the movement of Amazigh tribes...
A well informed adolescent
I am passionate about preparing adolescents and youth, the people that will inherit the world in a couple of years, regarding challenges that we are facing now, such as health, poverty, gender inequality and lack of quality education. My community based activities since 2014 contribute to the objectives of the sustainable development goals by providing young people the knowledge, actions, values and communication skills needed to contribute to their overall development, thereby empowering them to make healthy life choices. These choices, decisions and actions would promote universally shared...
You(th) are the future.
Today, I wanted to write about us, youth. Young people are the greatest agents of change in a society. To be young is definitely one of the most beautiful times in a person's life. You are full of energy, dreams and have so many aspirations. But there are many challenges too. We live in a busy world, many things have changed, including views and expectations. Some adults think that today's youth are a generation addicted to technology, that do not want to work and only focus on having fun. These stereotypes seem to be deeply rooted in some cultures, appearing to us time after time. And the...
Youth Day: what does it mean to be a young person in 2022?
I invite young people to fail, a lot
Islamophobia and terrorism
It is really unfortunate how people judge fellow human beings on the basis of religion, culture and identity. I believe that Islamophobia is mainly a result of terrorist activities done by terrorist groups like ISIS and Taliban, who do hold a pan-Islamic ideology, but no one should not forget that Syrian and Afghani soldiers fighting against these terrorist groups are also Muslim. An example of Islamophobia is when a person drove a van through a Muslim crowd coming out of Finsbury Park mosque after prayer and yelled '' I will kill all Muslims". This attack took place on the 18th of July, 2017...

Privileges and Dangers to Children Around the World
What constitutes a “normal” day is different for every child, depending on where they live and their family life. For some, every day is a struggle to survive, especially for children in war-torn countries and those who are victims of trafficking. Other children around the globe are occupied with thoughts of attending school, looking for a summer job, and determining what to do with their leisure time. For many of us fortunate enough to live in a country with a thriving economy, plenty of educational opportunities, and quality healthcare, some feelings of guilt may accompany that privilege. We...
Boosting confidence: A short story on European Parliament Elections
"We are all one"
"We are all one" Isn't that said by many, but accepted by none? There are people who are discriminated for their entire lives Well, then surely, it is easier said than done. Why is it obligatory for women to lead a life you choose? Why do we still live in a world where half of humanity is bruised? I've seen you hit that boy in the wheelchair, I've seen you humiliate that slum boy again, I've seen you arrogantly order your servants, For themselves, they are never able to speak. In this dark world, their silence shrieks. "Money buys happiness", you've put in that poor girl's mind, "You can only...
Women are not complacent
The day that Halsey’s song “Nightmare” came out, I was ecstatic. A song in which a woman was an unapologetic female. Female in all the versions that one can be female, and not necessary the stereotypical side. I showed the song to friends, to family and to everyone I knew. Almost everyone responded positively to the song. All genders and sexual preferences knew what the song meant. The song is an anthem for all the women that are tired of trying to be controlled by the people in their lives, by complete strangers, and even the government. But there was one person (a man) who was unamused and...

From Darkness to Light: Breaking Barriers
Let’s move on from black and white
There’s always black and white and yet we still go through the same hardships, Why does one have to feel superior than the other when we are all chasing the same goals? You got to understand that slavery doesn’t exist anymore, it’s written in the book of laws. People of color have to stop feeling inferior and people who are white have to stop feeling more superior, because you got to agree we all succeed and fail. Why can’t we move on? Why can’t we move past black and white? Why can’t we become one “HUMAN”? Stuck in the past and living the same problem each and everyday. How much more do we...
Education for the Girl Child
When I think about the Girl Child, I think about an embodiment of beauty, happiness, intelligence and talent. The Girl Child must be cherished, loved, and adored because she is more precious than jewels. She is gold because she is attractive and pure. She is a diamond because she is indispensable. She is like oxygen because you will always need that smile on her face. The Girl Child to her mother is a precious jewel. To her father, his pride. To her siblings, a helper. To her peers, a dependable friend. To her teacher, an intelligent being. To the world, a shining sun. To the church, a...
