‘Women in Politics’ joint platform in support of women leadership

As part of its aim to support women role in political life, ‘Loubnaniyoun’ Association launched a joint platform agreed with several Lebanese parties and aiming at designing plans to speed up women’s access to leading political and decision making positions at the level of parties and national institutions. In this respect, a delegation of the organization headed by Nadine Daher visited the offices of the Progressive Socialist Party in Beirut. To be noted, a large conference will soon be held to formally launch the platform following the endorsement of the document by the various political parties involved in this initiative (Tayyar Al Marada, Future Movement, Free Patriotic Movement, Jamaa Islamiya, Amal Movement, Hizbullah Party, PSP, Lebanese Forces Party and the Lebanese Kataeb Party). In preparation for the document, Loubnaniyoun organized a series of meetings with the motto ‘women in politics’ bringing together women party representatives to review the role of women in public life so as to draft a joint action plan that will support the active participation of women within the political parties and national institutions.
