Karlsson
Helsinki
"Me. You. And we together. For a stronger voice for everyone."
I am an engaged and versatile person with a strong interest in social issues, student politics, and well-being. With a passion for creating positive changes, I strive to contribute to a just and inclusive society where all individuals have the opportunity to reach their full potential. All people, regardless of anything, should have the right to equal value.
My name is Abbe Karlsson, 22 years old, from the small island of Kimitoön but moved alone to the big city of Helsinki at the age of 16 for studies.
I am a student and have studied for two years to become a nurse, but chose to change direction and am currently studying to become a social worker in my second year at Arcada University of Applied Sciences. I have been active in the student union and other study-related activities and have always had a burning interest in association and board life. Among other things, I have served as the chairperson of the Arcada Student Union in 2023 and 2024.
Important political topics
Children, Youth, and Families
Children and young people are our future, and it is our collective responsibility to create a safe and supportive environment for them to grow up in. Families, regardless of their form, are the cornerstone of society and should receive the support they need to provide their children with love, education, and opportunities. By investing in children and young people, we are investing in a better future for everyone.
Equality and Equity
Equality and equity are fundamental values in a just and inclusive society. All people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexuality, or socioeconomic background, should have the same opportunities and rights. By actively working to eliminate discrimination and promote equal conditions, we create a society where everyone can reach their full potential and contribute to common welfare and development.
Thriving citizens
Promoting the well-being of residents is a fundamental task for society. By ensuring access to high-quality care, mental health support, and health-promoting activities, we can create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy and balanced life. Investments in preventive care, education about health and well-being, and support for families and individuals are crucial for building a strong and resilient society. A society that cuts back on social and health care is not only unhealthy but also economically unsustainable. Investments in social services and health care are essential for promoting long-term economic stability and growth, as they contribute to a healthier and more productive population.
