Qatar’s Policies Allow Women to be Active Participants in Country’s Development
Qatar has affirmed its interest in building a cohesive society based on justice and equality among all its members and providing them with equal opportunities to access quality education and quality work.
Al-Sulaiti said that promoting women’s rights requires promoting the principle of equality and equity and raising society’s awareness of the important roles and responsibilities of all its members.
She added that Qatar has adopted, in this regard, specific initiatives directed at promoting women’s involvement in the labor market, in political participation, and in decision-making positions, which was positively reflected in strengthening its role as an active and essential partner in development.
She stressed that Qatar has adopted relevant legislation in the field of protecting women from all manifestations of violence, and has also established specialised institutions such as the Aman center, which operates under the umbrella of the Qatar Foundation for Social Work and seeks to protect and rehabilitate women and children victims of violence and family breakdown and reintegrate them into society.
