“I want to run in the elections because I have goals that I’m trying to achieve, as part of a team seeking to change reality for the better. I believe that women are a top priority in achieving this change, as they are half of the community and have the right to affect change. Particularly changing outdated customs and traditions that cause us to regress. I believe that family starts with the mother, so if the mother has a strong personality, and is capable of making decision and defending her own rights, she will benefit her family and society as well. This cannot be achieved unless men support women in their pursuit.”
