The women sector, Mount Lebanon coordination, at the Future Movement organized last week in Ketrmaya the first exhibition of homemade traditional products in Iqlim al Kharroub. The local responsible of the women sector, Anissa Youness, spoke about the role of women in social work, highlighting that the exhibition aims at improving home production and showcase the diversity of products. Local MP Mohammed Hajjar noted that currently, women’s role is no longer limited to care for family and children but also to care for the community, stressing that the Future Movement is convinced of the importance of that role because women make half of society. He also noted that such activities seek to strengthen and visibilise women’s role through providing opportunities that will secure “psychological and economic wellbeing for women and their communities”.
