28-2-2018
The minister of social affairs, Pierre Abu Assi, sponsored yesterday a ceremony held by the ministry affiliated-Center for Development Services in Ghazir to distribute certificates to women who completed the third phase of ‘promoting women empowerment and protection of women and youth in host communities’ project. The latter, to recall, is implemented by MoSA and UN Women-Gender Equality and Women Empowerment and funded by the Japanese Government. Pointing to the training courses provided by the Center in cooking, sewing and embroidery, Bu Assi stressed that vocational training does not only secure work opportunities for women, but also presents them with a source of livelihood, freedom and dignity. For his part, the Japanese Ambassador to Lebanon emphasized that the Ghazir Center has furnished women with skills to find adequate opportunities that help them move forward in their lives. Likewise, the Special Representative of the UN Women Regional Director said the project has ensured training in the private sector for both women and youth in order to boost their contribution to the local social and economic development, through specialized training and awareness on the rights of women and their protection from all forms of violence and abuse.
