Rahma said in an exclusive interview with ‘Sputnik’: ‘I conducted a workshop on media and social media, where I talked about my personal experience and how these platforms have been a fundamental partner in my professional and humanitarian journey. Through them, I was able to share my story and contribute to raising awareness among new parents on how to deal with their children with Down syndrome or special abilities, enabling them to live their lives normally in all fields.’
Rahma continued: ‘We are capable of patience, work, and achieving success in education, sports, and employment. Social media has helped us to voice our concerns, change societal perceptions, and strengthen the belief that we deserve equal opportunities.’
