Sahar Afzal – Finalist for youth delegate to the General Assembly of the UN
Talking about her dream to become the new youth representative, Sahar Afzal said that she wants to become the representative because she better know what is happening among youth. Sahar Afzal is a half Dutch and half Pakistani and on the base of that Sahar Afzal said that it is a unique perspective on the world. “I do a best of both worlds’ perspective post”, she said.
Replying to the question about what she want to do as a youth representative, Sahar Afzal said that she want to make a safe and strong environment everyone. I wants to represent the view of all young people living in United Nations, Netherlands and other parts of the world in order to get equal rights for different youths of the world.
“All opinions are valuable and deserve to be heard. The universal message of Anne Frank must be heard worldwide. I want to represent the strength and creativity of youth at the UN. To bring closer a safe future for everyone,” she added.
In a question why people should vote you, Sahar Afzal said, “I’m young and I know what’s going on. I’m there for all young people in the Netherlands. I believe in the power and creativity of young people in the Netherlands. I’m open to all opinions. My own view would be subject to the opinion of the young people that I collect in the country. I just want the conversation to go with all young people. My work as a youth representative in the Netherlands and my speech at the UN will truly make a difference in the thinking and actions of the (inter) national policy makers.”
