Why there are fewer women than men in field of the politics’?

Some choices that we make in life don’t just affect us personally; they affect so many people after us too. Just because a few women gave up on their rights, hopes and wishes caused huge problems. Others stuck with these problems but you know what life isn’t about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself.

            Life is very short and it will be gone before you have enjoyed it if you feel responsible for everything. Feeling responsibility for their families is the main cause that fewer women are in fields of politics. That resulted in a lack of women’s opinions in the government and in all types of politics. Not only that but for the most of the time their families don’t appreciate that all of the things they give up is for their own families good. On top of that families believe that what they are doing is what they supposed to do and that it isn’t something they are doing for themselves or for their families.

             There is no rule, law, or religion that mentions or states that men are more capable at politics than women. In my opinion, I think that women are more determined and capable than men. Look at the courage of our young women who join the army and fight to inspire all of us and indeed inspire the free world and those who are yearning for freedom and peace in the home. In many societies women are more effective than men. For example, in Somaliland men chew Qat and caused problems, where women solve, not just family problems, but also problems throughout the country.

            Nothing is impossible! Women are like air, we all can’t live one second without air. No one is perfect including men. I’m not perfect! Are you? In terms of who is close of being perfect I would say women, because they guardians. They provide food and help for the poor during the droughts while men prefer to chew Qat. They try their best to do what they think could help. Do they deserve to take a big part in the government and politics in general? Absolutely YES for our own good and development. I’m really a happy person, but the situation of women in general makes me feel sad. I think that it is like a beautiful sadness, because I see change happening in the very near future.

            Just keep in mind there are still billions of people left in the world that could make you even more successful and help you reach where you want to be. Don’t mind those who don’t believe in you, didn’t trust you, and talk behind your back. It simply means that you are two steps ahead of them. Fight for what you want, politics is very important because it is an important part of your country’s development. Don’t give up on it. I hope societies in different parts of the world specially Somali societies will open their minds and support women in politics.
