In modern societies, democracy and human rights are considered core values—but both are under increasing strain. Around the world, public trust in democratic institutions is declining. Citizens, especially young people, are disillusioned with systems they see as unresponsive and corrupt. This growing mistrust threatens the foundations of democratic governance. At the same time, human rights violations are on the rise, often hidden behind legal justifications or political agendas. Marginalized groups, including ethnic, religious, and gender minorities, continue to face systemic discrimination. Young people from these communities are particularly vulnerable, as their voices are frequently ignored in public discourse. Many feel powerless to effect change, leading to frustration and disengagement. Instead of being encouraged as future leaders, they are sidelined by policies that fail to reflect their concerns. The erosion of rights and representation deepens inequality and fuels social unrest. If democracy is to remain viable, it must evolve to include and empower all citizens. Rebuilding public trust requires action, transparency, and a renewed commitment to justice. Human rights must not be optional—they must be the starting point. Only then can democracy live up to its promises for everyone.
