Canadian Ambassador to Lebanon focuses on supporting women

24-10-2017

L’Orient Le Jour interviewed the newly-appointed Ambassador of Canada to Lebanon, Emmanuelle Lamoureux, who said she is personally supportive of women’s issues, pointing out that the Embassy is at the heart of the Canadian law and policies. Lamoureux stressed her government’s conviction of the need to engage women at all levels in order to reach an acceptable level of economic growth and a lasting peace, adding that for women to access decision-making positions and to actively participate in society, they should be liberal and independent decision-makers themselves. To this effect, the ambassador met with representatives of concerned associations, namely, Dar al Amal, involved with helping marginalized women. She also expressed her interest in visiting Lebanese regions and in meeting with people so as to better understand the local context. L’Orient Le Jour, October 20, 2017
