The Kingdom has strengthened the representation of women in decision-making processes, in accordance with its international and national commitments, as stipulated in its Constitution, said El Moussali who was the guest of honor at the second virtual Arab workshop initiated by the Arab Women Organization from 16 to 17 February on "Improving the performance of Arab parliaments in the field of gender equality".

The minister also stressed that the participation of women in political life is one of the priority issues in the Kingdom, which has allowed a continuous development of elected bodies at the national and regional levels.

Morocco is now entering a historic stage in terms of support for women's political participation, she noted, recalling the approval last week of the draft organic law 06.21 on the election of members of the councils of local authorities and which devotes two thirds of candidates to women on the regional lists in competition.

She underlined that the strong presence of women in parliament has a significant impact on the development of societies, emphasizing the importance of advocating for greater access of women to the legislative institution, as it gives them the opportunity to learn more about public policies, laws, legislation and programs aimed at improving the conditions of women.

In addition, she went on, Morocco stresses the importance of promoting joint Arab action, according to a clear methodology and solid foundations, in order to strengthen efforts to empower women in the region and enshrine the progress made by them in the Arab world.

As for the Kingdom's efforts to harmonize its legislation with international conventions relating to women's rights, the minister noted that Morocco has continued its efforts for a permanent and continuous interaction at the international level by ratifying all conventions and treaties that establish the principle of gender equality and non-discrimination.
