"For sustainable decision-making also for future generations "
I am a 24-year-old mother and student studying international law at Åbo Akademi University. I also serve as a board member of the Swedish Youth executive board and am active at the local level within SFP in Åbo.
My political career began 10 years ago in the Youth Council and has continued ever since. Over the years, I have served as the chairperson of the Swedish-Speaking School-Student Union of Finland and worked on education policy issues and human rights matters within Amnesty.
Important political topics
Accessible health care
Accessible and well-functioning healthcare is essential for ensuring the well-being of our residents. Continued investments in healthcare are an investment in the future.
We need to shorten healthcare waiting times. A temporary solution could be to use service vouchers. At the same time, we must make substantial investments in preventive healthcare, for example, by lowering the age for the first cervical cancer screening in Åbo from 30 to 25 years.
Functioning social welfare
To address the growing challenges in society, more low-threshold clinics are needed where people can quickly receive help.
Additionally, there needs to be better collaboration between municipalities, schools, healthcare, and the third sector to identify and support at-risk groups early on.
We should also strengthen social services by increasing the number of social workers.
Protection for those experiencing domestic violence must be improved through more shelter spaces and easily accessible support services. No one should have to wait for help in an emergency.
By investing in preventive care, better access to support, and safer social services, we can reduce exclusion, improve well-being, and increase security in society.
Mental Health
Mental health is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and everyone should have the right to quick and accessible help.
We want to see more low-threshold clinics where people can easily seek support without long waiting times. At the same time, collaboration between municipalities, schools, healthcare, and the third sector must be strengthened to identify and support those who are struggling early on.
There must be sufficient resources for mental health, including in Swedish. We need to improve care pathways to ensure that no one falls through the cracks.
Families and loved ones of individuals with mental health issues or substance abuse should be offered support and counseling. Additionally, we need to invest more in preventive measures to reduce mental health problems in society.
By prioritizing mental health, we are building a safer and more prosperous society, where no one is left behind and everyone gets the support and help they need.
