In a world where men as dominated, where they lead mostly any sort of work charge, women had to face difficulties to get noticed for a long time.  

Since the very beginning, women have never been considered equal to men. The standard idea of a couple was, and in some area of the world still is, composed by a man who is meant to get to work and support financially his family and the other part of the couple is marked by a woman: the one in charge of keeping the house clean and tidy and also to look after kids. This is the concept humanity has been growing with.  But, there have always been exceptions.  

Even whether they were going against the rules, there have always existed women with power, women who could not accept abuses, women who could not resist their inner self that kept pushing their rational part until getting to the point where revolutions were needed and, no matter what consequences they could have faced due to their actions: respect comes first. I’m talking about rebels of the law or society, I’m talking about those women who did not listen to anybody else apart from themselves and fought for their rights.  

As it appears on Unwomen.org, facts speak clear: inequality is an issue that has not been solved yet, especially when we look at it into a government point of view. 

–Only 21 countries around the world are being governed by women, which means that parity for men and women in leading a nation, will only be reached in 130years.  

–Only 10 countries have had a woman as Head of Government  

–The most common portfolios that women in a Head position have been working on are the following: family, children, youth,  just after :Political affairs, environment, natural resources and energy,  

2021 has started with a kick this time. After the planet has been drastically affected by a mortal virus, seeing a black woman becoming a status symbol, is opening a door of hope to everyone.  Just looking back at a few months ago, America was lead by uncertainty, with Trump refusing to concede. No one knew what destiny the nation was going to face, but thankfully all this chaos came to an end and a new Orden stepped forward. I’m talking about a new era, the era of Biden accompanied by the California Senator, Kamala Harris, also known as the face of changes. 

 
WHY IS KAMALA HARRIS IDENTIFIED AS A CHANCE OF INNOVATION? 

Because seeing a black woman working on the side of the American President is a big step forward for the society in a general aspect, but also for the entire black women community who have been feeling ´less´for too long period. 
Having a woman heading at the American Parliament demonstrates that evolution is taking place and that the world is progressing along with it. 

During her very first speech as the new elected Vice President that happened on 7^th November, she made dreaming all those little girls watching her. 

“Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities,” she said. 

“While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last,” said Harris, speaking to a cheering outdoor crowd in Wilmington, Del. 

Harris also called out to “the generations of women, black women, Asian, white, Latina, Native American women, who throughout our nation’s history have paved the way for this moment tonight.” 

 
WHAT MADE THAT NIGHT MEMORABLE? 

Harris wore a pants suit in all white — the Suffragette movement colour — and spent much time praising all the women who through history fought to obtain and preserve the right to vote.

In 1916 a political organization called the National Woman’s Party was founded to fight women’s suffrage and they adopted white, gold and purple as its colour, considering white as ‘the emblem of purity’ 

The first woman to run for Vice President, Geraldine Ferraro, wore a white suit in 1984. Hilary Clinton also used to wear white pantsuits when she was assisting speeches in public during her presidential race back in 2016. 

Harris also refers to the women’s community throughout her speech and particularly paying homage to, she said, “All the women who worked to secure and protect the right to vote for over a century: One hundred years ago with the 19th Amendment, 55 years ago with the Voting Rights Act, and now, in 2020, with a new generation of women in our country who cast their ballots and continued the fight for their fundamental right to vote and be heard. Tonight, I reflect on their struggle, their determination, and the strength of their vision—to see what can be unburdened by what has been—I stand on their shoulders.”
