NCLW reports on its women’s strategy
30-6-2017
The president of the National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW), Claudine Aoun Roukuz, and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) representative, Asma Qurdahi, launched yesterday the third annual report for the implementation of the National Strategy for Women in Lebanon, in the presence of minister of state for women’s affairs, Jean Ogassapian, and a group of civil society associations, the media, universities and concerned parties. Roukuz maintained that the report highlights national efforts in 2015 to realize the National Strategic Objectives for Women in Lebanon 2011-2021, which focus on promoting a society based on the principles of justice, impartiality and equality among men and women. Roukuz also announced commitment to the 12 strategic goals as part of a solid faith in the continuity of the public sector and alteration or rotation of authorities. “We shall work on developing the strategy in line with our aspirations and goals to reach complete gender equality in our Lebanese society,” Roukuz said. Equality can only be achieved by empowering women to play their role in building society and national economy and eradicating all legal, social and structural barriers that prevent their participation and evolution across all sectors and spheres of life, Roukuz added.
