Mohamed Moatassem

Aswan

My name is Mohamed Moatassem. I am a law graduate with a Master's degree in International Law. I work as a researcher in the field of human rights, with a particular focus on issues related to irregular migration and its social impact. I believe that awareness is the cornerstone in reducing the risks associated with this phenomenon, which often stems from a lack of information and opportunities among youth. Through my research and initiatives, I aim to raise awareness within the community, encouraging conscious thinking, safe opportunities, and a productive, independent future. I strongly believe in the power of collective action to achieve real and sustainable change. My aspiration is to help build a society that is aware of its rights, conscious of its challenges, and actively engaged in shaping its path toward a better future.

Hussein Hassan Al-Banna

Sharqia

Psychologist and Master's researcher in Language and Communication Disorders at the Faculty of Disability Sciences and Rehabilitation, and a content creator (Hussein Psychology). I was honored to work on the national project affiliated with the Ministry of Social Solidarity and the Tahya Misr Fund to protect homeless children and adults. My primary goal was to achieve the best interests of these vulnerable groups. I was honored to be selected as a youth ambassador for the United Nations Organization for Migration and the National Coordinating Committee for Combating Illegal Migration and Human Trafficking. Because 66% of illegal migrants in Egypt are children, we decided in Sharqia Governorate to implement the "Know Yourself: Reach Your Dream" project.
