Premier Hariri calls for a revolution in favor of women’s rights
23-4-2018
Prime minister Saad Hariri said on Friday that national partnership needs men, but also requires the presence of women and their conquest of decision-making positions occupied usually by their male peers in the public and private sectors. He stressed that the country calls for a legal revolution that gives women their dispossessed rights. Hariri was speaking during an elections festival organized by the Future Movement’s Women’s Sector at Beirut Seaside Arena, under the title, ‘Our women candidates for the 2018 Legislative’, in the presence of the Future movement nominees from all over Lebanon, namely: Rola Jarudi Tabsh, Dima Jamali, Leila Shahud and Marie Jean Babekian, in addition to a crowd of female activists. Hariri pointed out that the Future Movement women are no less effective or competent than men, and that their participation in the leadership of the Movement is unquestionable. In the Future’s General Congress, Hariri maintained, "I want to see an exceptional contribution by women. Also, I want to see women in the Executive Bureau, and in the various sectors and coordination departments.” As such, he concluded, “we can prepare the grounds for the desired civilized political action and for real change in the political structure of the country.” (AL Mustaqbal, An Nahar, Al Diyar, April 21, 2018)
