“I’m currently a village council member in As-Sawiya. In 2012, I ran in an endorsement list. I want to experience the election process again, because I believe I have much more to offer, if I were in a community environment and local council environment that is more supportive. I believe that women have an essential role in the election process both as voters and candidates. Because there are women members in the village council, many more women from the community are presenting their requests and complaints to the council, and participating in seminars and workshops.”
