20-6-2019
The National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW) held a round table discussion at the Serail yesterday to present “The National Plan for the Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security’, to national and international stakeholders. On the occasion, Prime Minister Saad Hariri underlined his commitment to the involvement of women in political decisions at all levels and the provision of mechanisms to prevent conflicts, stressing the need to recruit the largest number of women within the ranks of the security apparatus. He reiterated his personal determination and that of his government to enforce the plan, hoping it will be approved by the Cabinet in the near future. For her part, NCLW President, Claudine Aoun Rukuz, said, “We all dream of stability in a society that observes equality between men and women.” The above 4-year action plan, she stated, will pave the way to sustainable peace and gender equality. Similarly, the UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon pointed out that the said plan will give room for the political participation and economic empowerment for women, in addition to protection and promotion of their rights. It is expected to provide a new set of operative tools and resources needed to bolster chances for peace, development and work to achieve gender equality. (Al Mustaqbal, June 20, 2019)
