27-2-2020
The head of NCLW, Claudine Aoun Rukuz, visited yesterday the newly appointed foreign minister, Nassif Hitti, to discuss the implementation of the UN Resolution 1325 and the action plan that was approved by the Cabinet earlier in September. Rukuz stressed during the meeting the need to activate the participation of women in decision-making and enhance their role in various areas. She asked the minister to consider gender equality in the formation of diplomatic delegations for foreign missions, in addition to introducing the necessary amendments to allow married women access to the diplomatic corps. Rukuz revealed that discussions also centered on the Gender Focal Point and the budget earmarked by the ministry to employ gender equality. She said a working party will be appointed, in collaboration with the finance minister, to adapt a new perspective within the ministries. (Al Diyar, February 27, 2020)
