At the 35th session of the Commission for Arab Women, Randa Berri considers the fight against terrorism a responsibility for all especially women

The vice president of the National Commission for Lebanese Women, Ms. Randa Berri, noted that challenging terrorism is not only within the remit of the armed forces in our countries but is everybody’s responsibility including women.  Berri was speaking at the opening of the 35th session of the Commission for Arab Women which was held in Cairo last Saturday under the slogan: “We are one woman”.  Ms Berri, who headed the NCLW delegation to the event, reiterated the importance of addressing issues of concern related to women with special needs on the agenda of the Commission.  She called on her colleagues to set up an emergency committee to address emerging challemges threatening Arab societies and particularly women. The Consultant to the President of the Women’s Committee at the League of Arab State, Dr. Inas Mekkaoui, introduced the report compiled by the Committee over the last three years and resented the Cairo Declaration for Arab Women which is entitled “Arab Women’s Post-2015 Development Agenda”.
