It used to be really difficult for women to get a position in the government before. But during the past two years， laws for women protection have improved， allowing women to take part in election and work in the government. Currently， women staff in our government account for 30% of the total. In the meantime， the election law has also changed， enabling young people to have a chance to work in the government， even with privileges and prior positions. That’s why I am able to be a mayor. I was 23 when I took part in the election and another candidate was a 35 year old man. In the final vote， we got a draw of 16 to 16. Because I was younger， I won finally.
We met many difficulties at the beginning as people had some trouble accepting such a young female mayor. I had to prove that I was qualified for the position and able to improve their life， propose aspiring suggestions and create employment opportunities. As a young woman， I faced double challenges yet work harder. Religion， or Muslim culture， is not the obstacle for women to work in the government. Instead， habitual thought is. People with habitual thought are not used to see women working in the decision making position. However， I believe I can change this through my effort.
For those countries where people are still striving for young people and women’s rights， I suggest that they push forward their reform of law， especially election law， which is the guarantee for young people and women to give their voices and take part in the decision making process.
以前，女性要进入政府工作确实很难。但过去两年中，在我的国家，保护妇女权益的法律发生了改变。女人可以参加选举，可以进入政府工作。现在，我们的政府内，女性工作人员占总数的30%。与此同时，在我们的选举法也发生了改变，变得让青年人有更多机会进入政府，甚至给予他们优先的权利和地位。这也是为什么我可以就任市长的原因。我参加选举时23岁，与我同时竞选的另一位候选人是35岁的男性。在最后一轮投票中，我们获得了16：16的平票。但是我更加年轻，因此由我获胜。
这样的举措在启动之初也是举步维艰，我们遇到很多困难。人们也不容易接受一名年轻女性成为一座大城市的市长。我要用实际行动证明自己有能力胜任这样的工作，能帮助人们改变生活，能提出积极的设想和建议，能创造就业机会。年轻和身为女性，让我面临双倍的挑战，也让我加倍努力。宗教，或者说穆斯林文化，并不是女性任职政府工作的障碍，而是人们的惯性思维，他们不习惯看到年轻人及女性进入政府任决裁职位。但我相信通过我们的努力，这些会得到改善。
对于那些仍然在为争取青年及女性权利而努力的国家和地区的人们，我建议他们先推进法律改革，尤其是选举法。这是青年及女性能够发声、议政的基本保障。
