Over the past few years, I have experienced a sense of powerlessness while observing the challenges democratic societies face globally. As my concerns deepened, I took the initiative to engage in some reading and research, gathering information I could then discuss with friends in person and online. I noticed that discussions and information about democracy were usually limited to academics and their presentations. This has fuelled a genuine desire to share and exchange ideas based on my research, motivating me to write and illustrate this book. I especially feel passionate about the need to present and discuss these questions in an accessible way and with the younger generation.

The book tries to do three things:

-Explain vital elements of a democratic society

-Give an update on the state of democracy in the world and the challenges it faces

-Motivate and encourage the pursuit of a more democratic world.

In a world grappling with pressing issues such as global warming, I think it’s crucial that we must unite to revitalise democracy. I trust that this book will ignite your inspiration to explore ideas that could shape its future. The book also includes some questions I keep asking myself. Maybe you are interested in asking them yourself and trying to find some answer. We are all part of a community of activists who have existed long before us and will continue long after we are gone, on the slow, gradual path to enlightenment

“Love has never been a popular movement. And no one’s ever wanted, really, to be free. The world is held together, really it is held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people.” 

James Baldwin
