increasing women’s representation in the labour market and economic

active role in partisan and political life.
Attendees pointed out that modernisation is a must to move
forward, which will not be possible without women’s empowerment and active
participation.
They also stressed the need to uphold the rule of law and
develop the social system to increase women’s participation and promote their
engagement in various fields.
Discussing the need to bolster women’s representation in
decision-making positions, attendees praised the outcomes of the Royal
Committee to Modernise the Political System related to women empowerment.
