S03E14 | Leading Ladies

Описание: 56% of Sri Lanka's voters are women, yet female representation in parliament is less than 5%. The country's patriarchal and misogynist political culture prevents educated and capable women from entering politics, because of the threat to the sexist state quo. Three women from opposing parties - Dr. Harini Amarasuriya (JVP/NPP), Sharmila Gonawela (SLPP) and Lihini Fernando (SJB) raise their collective voice in our 'power' packed season finalé.
