At #IDDBrussels, the WYDE Initiative brought together perspectives on women’s leadership, civic engagement & political parties. One idea stayed with us: “The ground is not the last mile of democracy. The ground is where democracy begins.” — Tosin Apiriola-Ajayi #WYDECommunity

🟡 Democracy is changing. Are our political systems changing with it? Democracy needs more than participation. It needs young people and women to have a real voice in the decisions that shape our societies. That’s what #WYDEPoliticalParties works towards. 🗳️🌍 #InternationalDemocracyDay #ENoP
