Convincing People to Take a Small Step

How else can we know if it is worth it or not? If men stay home saying that there is no use in voting, then I suggest we give up on any development in our lives and our country!

It is strange that women are so passionate about change and taking part in building society whereas men, who hold all the cards by default, refuse to exercise their new right.

Last week in a press briefing, Saudi Foreign Affairs Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said that in many cases, the government’s designs for change are stifled by public resistance. One hopes that our people begin looking around them, see how the world is changing and decide they want to catch up with the rest of the world.
