Rabat – Morocco takes part in the 69th meeting of the UN Commission on the status of women (CSW69) that started in New York on Monday.
The Minister of Solidarity, Naima Ben Yahia, heads the Moroccan delegation, which includes officials from national institutions, government departments and organizations in civil society.
Morocco’s permanent representative of the United Nations Omar Hilale is also present.
The discussions will continue until March 21, with the focus on the progress in the further development of women’s rights as part of the declaration and the platform for the action of Beijing in Beijing.
The meetings also strive for challenges that hinder Gender equality And the strengthening of women, while the role of these obligations in the development agenda of the United Nations 2030 is assessed.
The commission, founded in 1946, serves as the main forum for global guidelines that promote gender equality.
This year the 30th anniversary of the fourth world conference costs women, where 189 governments adopted the explanation of Beijing in 1995. The statement describes obligations in 12 key areas such as education, economic participation, healthcare, human rights and decision -making powers.
Morocco will organize a secondary event on Wednesday by Minister Ben Yahia on the subject of “Economic strength of women and their contributions to the socio -economic development”.
Officials from the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (Cese) and the High Planning Commission (HCP) will take part in the knowledge of Morocco’s experience in increasing the role of women in business.
For decades, international forums have reproduced the demand for gender equality, with several governments and institutions reaffirm their obligations. However, these efforts do not remain with the daily fights that women face.
Nevertheless, the real change remains slow, and women around the world continue to be suspended for economic participation, political strengthening and legal protection.
A current report From UN women showed that almost every four governments reported a counter -reaction against women’s rights in 2024.
The persistence of these hurdles raises questions about the effectiveness of global initiatives and the gap between political obligations, material progress and the realities of women everywhere.
