After knocking on all doors asking for help, she had no answer… and decided to come down to the street
She picked a spot near one of the security checkpoint, stretched out on the sidewalk ..where people donate money symbolically, in amounts not enough to buy her and her two daughters a piece of bread ... as her hands grasped the money in her hands, a flashback crossed her mind..one day, she was a beautiful young girl ...with rosy ambitions, fell in love and got married, when she had her two beautiful daughters…another scene crossed by..as one morning when her husband left the house to work, few minutes later she hears an explosion, a sudden knock at her door, breaking the news that her husband died in that explosion....her flashback interrupted by a loud sound of four wheel drive convoy of black shaded windows vehicles passing with high speed next to her, from the back car window, she saw a man looking at her with contempt..this man stepped out of the car, climbed the podium..delivered a speech with microphones and cameras recording: “ Women are half of society and without them we will not survive as a democratic state for one day, we decided to guarantee and secure all their rights ... applause ... end of speech..
