International Day of Democracy - 2025

               There is not democracy without human rights and there is not human rights without democracy. The worldwide movement for justice, democracy, human rights, political inclusion and my political rights is becoming stronger than ever. Once I'd like to thank all demonstration of support for my activism and political rights. It is good to know that my online activism that next year will complete two decades is being recognized as a force for democracy and human rights. This worldwide movement has became so huge, intense and prevalent in the last five years that nobody can deny its existence. Since 2020,  I have a YouTube channel, here is the link https://www.youtube.com/@lucianofietto4773/videos. Since the creation of this channel its visualization counter doesn't work, the same has been happening with the counter of this blog since its creation in 2010.  This post is a summary of three articles. The first was published at https://www.un.org/en/observances/democracy-day. The second was published at https://www.idea.int/events/international-democracy-day-brussels-2025-conference. The third was published at https://www.facebook.com/parwanekhanum.pkwo

                  Democracy draws its strength from people: their voice, their choices, and their participation in shaping their societies. It flourishes when rights are protected, particularly for those most often left behind. The Day of Democracy 2025 U.N. Scretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted, "the courage of people everywhere who are shaping their socities through dialogue, participation, and trust" deeming these efforts as more vital than ever "at a time when democracy abd the rule of law are under assault from disinformation, division and shrinking civic space." The U.N. Democracy Fund will host an event to highlight how democratic participation can be transformed "From Voice to Action". For 20 years, the U.N. Democracy Fund has played a crucial role in advancing democratic values across the globe. Through funding more than one thousand initiatives, U.N.D.E.F. has become a vital force in helping people shape their own future through dialogue, civic engagement, and democratic innovation. We celebrate not only the Fund's achievements, but also the courage of the individuals and communities it support, those who continue to defend democracy as a force for dignity, inclusion and peace.                                                                                                                                                               The International Democracy Day (IDD) Brussels Conference convenes global thought leaders, organisations and decision-makers in Brussels for dialogue on defending and advancing democracy. This year's theme,"A World Turned Upside Down: Democracy and Inclusion in an Age of Insecurity", addresses the urgent links between inclusive democracy, global security, and Europe's role in an increasingly volatile world. For 30 years, International IDEA has been a leader in providing comparative data and publications and convening with partners to champion democratic values across the globe. The IDD Brussels Conference 2025 opening session will mark International IDEA 's 30th anniversary unpacking how inclusion strengthens democracy and contributes to peace and security. The session will explore how democratic values can be embedded in international partnerships to promote mutual benefit and cooperation between the global north and south.                                                                                                                                              This year's theme for the International Day of Democracy 2025 is, "Democracy and Inclusion in a Age of Insecurity", remind us that democracy can only flourish when it is inclusive, participatory, and resilient against today's global challenges. At Parwane Khanum, we are committed to empowering communities, amplifying voices, and ensuring that inclusion remains at the heart of democratic progress. Let's work together to protect democratic values, safeguard civic spaces, and build a future where no voice is left unheard.
