"Safety and communication – fundamental human rights!"
I am a speech therapist, a mother, and passionate about everyone's right to be heard. Growing up in Korpo and now living in Pargas, I have a strong understanding of both the archipelago's and the mainland's needs.
I want to work for a society where safety, equality, and accessible communication are self-evident – from young children to the elderly. Everyone should have the same opportunities to participate, influence, and feel safe in their everyday lives.
I am also running in the municipal elections

Safe living
The right to a safe life is one of the most important pillars of society. Everyone has the right to feel safe, regardless of age, language, gender, residence, or background. Care and support must be available to everyone when needed, and there must be trust that the system works. This applies to everything from ensuring help arrives within reasonable timeframes, to knowing that you will receive help and support when needed, and having a safe life as you grow older.
Disability Services
People with different forms of disabilities and their families should receive the support and assistance they need at an early stage and if possible in their native language. Therapy and rehabilitation should be planned based on the individual's needs and the needs of their surrounding environment. People with disabilities have the same right as everyone else to express themselves, be understood, participate, and receive understandable information.
Thriving children, adolescents and families
We must provide children and families with the care and support they need to give children a safe and healthy childhood, so they can grow up to be thriving, healthy adults. Thriving families mean a thriving society.
