Claire Wai

Hong Kong

Hi all! I’m a 16-year-old student born and raised in Hong Kong, but currently at school in the UK, with a unique understanding of both countries and cultures. I truly resonate with CAP-2030’s work, especially on children’s health, as they often lack an advocating voice against capitalistic and corruptly-driven incentives; from big businesses to governments, from advertisements to narratives. My role as a passionate youth advocate for disability rights has also helped me understand the prevalence of systemically disadvantageous societal structures. A fun fact about me is that my friends often argue whether my accent is British, American, or neither!
