2-5-2018
As part of his ongoing support for women, the British Ambassador to Beirut, Hugo Shorter, met on Friday with a group of women members of the municipalities of Tyre, Arsal, Shuf and Shiyah and listened to their success stories. Women municipal members talked about their experiences in working to improve the public services in their areas, pointing to the challenges they have faced to this effect. Rita Tawil, Shiyah municipal member, who stated her opposition to the women quota, said she wants to see women prove themselves by themselves without men’s backing. Similarly, while Rima Kronbi, deputy mayor of Arsal, said she is against the said quota because women are competent enough. Amal Takieddine from Shuf municipality, voiced her support to the quota. “As women, we are committed and qualified to work for a better tomorrow,” she maintained, noting that the empowerment of women and the youth are among her priorities. For her part, Randa Ibrahim Abu Saleh, from Tyre municipality, said: “I did not face any obstacles. I received full support from the mayor, deputy mayor and municipal members.”.
