Ogassapian for inclusion of women’s quota in the imminent electoral law
5-6-2017
The minister of state for women’s affairs, Jean Ogassapian, pressed on Friday for the inclusion of the women’s representation quota in the provisions of the imminent electoral law which framework has now become clear. The Minister pointed out in a statement that the switch from rhetoric to serious discussion of details of said law requires prioritizing the women’s quota while ensuring that this is not influenced by any sectarian considerations that might affect what it described as a “central demand and right” and a progressive step in enhancement of women’s participation in the public life of the country. “The active presence of women in institutions is not a formality or luxury. Experience has proved that women contribute to inspiration and development of the performance of constitutional bodies and boost their productivity,” the statement concluded.(Al Diyar, Al Mustaqbal, June 4, 2017)
