On the occasion, WLCL chair, Madiha Reslan, said the aim of the above panel discussion was to highlight economic priorities, clarify the vision and set an action plan independent of ongoing political discord, describing the meeting as a new initiative to endorse the role of women in national economy. “We are responsible here to not allow any marginalization of women in the future,” she said. Hazar Caracalla, the premier’s advisor for economic affairs, for her part, said the meeting was an initial step for cooperation between the Women Leaders Council and the Office of the Prime Minister in support of productive sectors and companies in which women make a large part of their workforce. She concluded by saying that the government has identified the social and economic challenges the country has faced by the end of 2016 and has set a roadmap for stability, growth and job prospects, noting that the worksheet presented by the Lebanese government to Cedar was key to this effect.
