By including women in decision-making, city governments will be in a better position to fulfill their responsibility to ensure the safety of their residents, especially women and girls.

As a girl who was raised on the idea that we should give back to our community as much as possible, I believe that we have more power than we think when it comes to making change.

As women, we know that we must always find ways to change the process because the present institutions want to hold on to power and keep the status quo.

Research shows that when women are empowered as political leaders, countries often experience higher standards of living with positive developments in education, infrastructure, and health care.

We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls' rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past.

As a vibrant force in civil society, women continue to press for their rights, equal participation in decision-making, and the upholding of the principles of the revolution by the highest levels of leadership in Egypt.

Women need to become conscious of the impact that their attitudes and actions can have on future generations of voters and politicians.

In my community, women are as important as males, and they are playing an equal role in the society.

You get elected, often, if you're a woman, on the strength of the women's vote; then you get into office, and you have to adapt to an overwhelmingly male environment.

If more women are in leadership roles, we'll stop assuming they shouldn't be.
