My name is Emilie Jäntti, and I wish to be your candidate in the parliamentary election.
Activism and politics have been a big, and important, part of my life since I was very young. Since I was 13 years old, I’ve had the opportunity to have many different commissions of trust, out of which the first ones were in my lower secondary schools student-board as well as in my hometown’s youth parliament. This interest in politics was also what brought me into choosing political science as my major when I began my studies at Åbo Akademi.
Some of the most important political questions for me are educational politics, human rights and the right to participate in decision making from a young age.
Important political topics
Education
Education is a keystone in our society, and every child should have the right to a high-quality education, which is driven by competent personnel. In order for us to have an educated and well-working society in the future we need to keep investing in our education system.
I want to work for an inclusive and safe school, free from bullying
I want to work for us to have an increased amount of educated school psychologists and school counselors
I want to work for renewed sexeducation
Children and youth
Our children and young people are the future, and we need to make sure that they are well, get a good education and grow up in a safe environment. In order for us to build a society which benefits everyone it is of high importance that children and young people's voices are heard in decision making.
I want to work for increased resources for early child-hood education and ensuring that every daycare has well-educated personnel.
I want to work for a national hobby guarantee
I want to work on reducing the voting-age to 16.
Human rights and LGBTQ+-issues
Finland needs to be a safe country and a forerunner in work regarding human rights. We need to put an emphasis on designing a well-working and effective integration program.
I want to work for asylum seekers rights and facilitate easier family reunions
I want to work on securing the rights of our indigenous population
