Women in Saudi vision 2030!
15-10-2019
The Saudi Embassy in Beirut organized a symposium entitled “Women in Saudi Vision 2030” at the United Nations House in Beirut in the presence of the minister of state for economic empowerment of women and youth, Violette Safadi, the Saudi Ambassador, Walid Bukhari, and the representative of the Human Rights Commission and the Council for Family Affairs in the Kingdom, Amal Maalami. Safadi said on the occasion that the seminar is exceptionally important as it comes within the framework of the post-oil Saudi Vision 2030. She stressed that despite the vivacity of the plan, it will not be complete unless women are an integral part of it. For her part, Maalami said Saudi Arabia is passing through a crucial period in its history marked by rapid changes and developments towards a prosperous and more sustainable development. Concerning the Saudi woman who makes nearly 49.6% of the population, and in order to inspire her to actively engage in development which is the main goal of the 2030 Vision, she should be supported through empowering legislations, Maalami said. This includes laws that allow her to work, profit and produce, as well as enable her to assume the cherished role in the family and at work, she concluded. (NNA, October 15, 2019)
