President of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) Ahmed Reda Chami called, on Monday in Rabat, for removing cultural obstacles which hinder women’s empowerment.
Speaking at the opening of an international meeting organized by the National Council for Human Rights (CNDH) under the theme “Parity in politics: An imperative for the effectiveness of equality”, Chami said that it is necessary to strengthen the approach of “positive discrimination” and to foster the principle of parity in all areas.
The empowerment is dependent on the effective involvement of Moroccan women in the socio-economic and political sphere, he noted, explaining that “rights are not given, rights are acquired which requires a real commitment and voluntarism from women.
The implementation of changes is closely linked to three major shifts based on reports and opinions of the CESE on different levels, notably the institutional, legal, operational and socio-cultural ones, he added.
