Know Your Rights Shape your Future | Priyankha Prasanna | TEDxTIPS Trichy Youth
In times of uncertainty, when faced with a questionable situation, it is essential to remember the importance of understanding and asserting our rights. Priyankha sheds light on the significance of knowing our rights and how they empower us to navigate difficult circumstances with confidence. It is not just about courage but also about being informed and standing up for oneself.
Priyankha Prasanna, a Grade 8 student, brings a global perspective shaped by her upbringing in the UAE and a lifelong education in the Cambridge curriculum. This international background has fueled a powerful personal mission: to share the empowerment that comes from knowing one's rights. She believes that awareness is the first step toward justice and is passionate about creating a global conversation that emphasizes the importance and usage of fundamental rights across all communities. For Priyankha, education is not just academic; it is a tool for universal empowerment, and she is determined to use her voice to help others find theirs.
