Today, the institutions of civil society have become one of the most important social structures that contribute to the progress and advancement of society, involving the citizen in the search for solutions to his daily problems, and expressing his opinion on the crucial issues of the nation, which can develop citizen consciousness, and increase the sense of belonging, which constitutes a solid bulwark against the crises that society may face.
