The clouds represents the male domination inside the political world, while Lee's sister and wings represents women who wants to voice out equality and diversity, also to those women who are going to join the political world and change its standards towards women.
The month of March celebrates the International Women's Month, where every year we celebrate the success of women who fought for themselves, who gave their own contributions to the society, women who were abused, harassed and also empowering all different types of women. But one question is what prevents women from participating in politics?
We all remember the history of women decades ago, where women are staying inside their homes and they weren't able to have a full learning experience. While men were able to work, to stand up and voice out what they want in this world. Education was one of the most important causes of the problem that prevents them from being heard in government. The society lets women to have less entitlement of education than men, that is why when a woman runs for a position in the government her confidence lessens and she is not given the chance to voice out and be heard by their people. The imbalance of gender ratio in political participation is one indicator of gender inequality in society, other countries are insisting women to let themselves be involved in politics.
As much as possible we have to empower women in order for us to have a balanced ratio inside the political arena. We have to stand up for those women who are running for a position in the government. If women were entitled the same right to education as men, they will gain a higher self-esteem and be able to be heard by their people and even the world.
