Vanuit een brede interesse in politiek en maatschappelijke vraagstukken zet zij zich graag in voor een gemeente waarin iedereen zich kan ontwikkelen en gehoord voelt.<br><br>Op jonge leeftijd was Nilaya al actief betrokken bij de lokale en landelijke democratie. Als kinderburgemeester van Diemen en later als kinderminister van Democratie bij het Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken, werkte zij aan \u00e9\u00e9n duidelijk doel: kinderen een serieuze stem geven in het politieke debat. Hun perspectief is volgens haar onmisbaar in een samenleving die vooruit wil. \u201cKinderen kijken heel anders naar de wereld. Ze denken minder in hokjes en durven vrijer te dromen. Juist daarom moeten we hun idee\u00ebn serieus nemen. Als je naar de toekomst wilt bouwen, moet je ook luisteren naar degenen die haar gaan vormen.\u201d<br><br>Naast haar studie is sporten een belangrijk onderdeel van haar dagelijks leven. Het geeft haar structuur en energie, kwaliteiten die ze meeneemt in haar politieke en maatschappelijke betrokkenheid.\t<\/p><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\t\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-2073205159\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Expertises (portefeuilles)\" aria-controls>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__heading\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"heading   heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold\" id=\"nav-expertises--portefeuilles-1417\">\n\tExpertises (portefeuilles)<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\t<\/button>\n\n\t<section id=\"content-accordion-panel-2073205159\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-2073205159\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\tNatuur en dierenwelzijn<br \/>\r\nDiversiteit en inclusie<br \/>\r\nGezondheid en welzijn<br \/>\r\nSport, cultuur en evenementen\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-3074078053\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Functie historie\" aria-controls>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__heading\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"heading   heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold\" id=\"nav-functie-historie481\">\n\tFunctie historie<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\t<\/button>\n\n\t<section id=\"content-accordion-panel-3074078053\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-3074078053\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"content-accordion lists content-accordion__lists lists__weight--medium lists__color--black lists__type--default\"><li><label>2026-heden<\/label><span>Raadslid<\/span><\/li><li><label>2025-heden<\/label><span>Bestuurskunde, Hogeschool van Amsterdam<\/span><\/li><li><label>2020-2021<\/label><span>Kinderminister bij het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties<\/span><\/li><li><label>2017-2019<\/label><span>Kinderburgemeester bij de Gemeente Diemen<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":774,"featured_media":2201,"menu_order":0,"template":"","labels":[],"search-tags":[12],"division-tags":[32],"class_list":["post-1856","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","search-tags-fractie-bestuur","division-tags-fractie"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Diemen &#8212;
