The general assembly for social affairs at the Maronite Bishopry of Sarba organized a seminar entitle: “Women and Lebanon, the mission…” at the municipal town house in Zouk Mikhael.
The speakers included former Minister of Social Affairs, Mr. Selim Sayegh, who emphasized on the role of women who, according to him “are equal to men in rights and responsibilities and who are the safeguards for values in society”. He emphasized that “women should be prepared to go into political life whilst emphasizing that women should be protected by law so that they are able to participate in politics beginning at the local and municipal level as well as broader political participation as women are more immune to corruption”
