The first day of the event will cover regional preparatory meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women 64 (CSW), in order to review the 25-year long activities and performance of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the Beijing +25 Regional Review Meeting.
Meanwhile, the second day will witness the 39th session of the Arab Women’s Committee in order to go over several topics on the agenda, which will begin by discussing the General Secretariat’s activity report between the previous session and the current session.
According to a statement from the Secretary General of the Family Affairs Council Dr. Hala Al-Tuwaijri, the Kingdom hosting such an event for Arab Women under the slogan of “Empowering Women … Development of Society” is part of the efforts exerted by Saudi Arabia in addressing Arab issues and supporting the development of their societies.
“Saudi Arabia’s hosting of the meeting comes at a time when the Kingdom is witnessing many reforms related to empowering women in accordance with the ambitious Vision 2 030 that had a direct impact on supporting and empowering Saudi women at various levels through a host of decisions and legislation that support her career and enhance her position,” the statement added.
One of the main highlights of the meeting will be announcing Riyadh as the capital of Arab women for the year 2020 under the slogan of “Women is a nation and ambition,” which is a great leap to the Kingdom especially after its presidency of G20.
