OrganizationTowards Significant & Competent Parliamentary Performance DescriptionThe video opens with a woman entering a public room to cast her vote in the parliamentary elections. As she walks, the voices of various men in her life run through her head, urging her to vote for the candidate they endorse. She takes a ballot, and after careful consideration, votes her mind. The final message “My Voice. My Choice.” has a double meaning. In Arabic, it also means, “My Vote. My Choice.” The PSA encourages women not to be dissuaded from voting their own opinions. In addition to sitting on the board of Towards Significant and Competent Parliamentary Performance, a women’s organization that seeks to support women to be elected to Parliament, Director Anwaar Ali Al Ali, oversees several divisions within the Department of Children and Women of the Ministry of Social Affairs in Kuwait.
