"Media Supporting Women Leaders" project rounded up under Daouk's auspices

NNA - "Smart Center" and "Women In Front" rounded up on Friday the project entitled "Media Supporting Women Leaders" under the patronage of Minister of Information Walid Daouk at a ceremony held at Monroe Hotel.



"The guide of women leaders 2013" which was also launched at the ceremony includes biographies for 122 women pioneers, among which that of the Director of the National Information Agency, Mrs. Laure Sleiman Saab.



Minister Daouk's representative, advisor André Kassas, delivered a speech on the occasion whereby he said that the insistence of women to restore their rights and assume full responsibilities with men highlighted the importance of female's role in society.



"The next election will be the first step in the journey of women and in their role in public life," he said.



Kassas quoted Daouk as saying that the efforts exerted by "Smart Center" and "Women In Front" encourage women to participate in the upcoming legislative event.



"The lack of cultural and electoral awareness as well as media support prevented women from proving their capabilities at the parliament," he said.



"Woman representing 53% of the Lebanese society became able to assume political responsibilities, having succeeded in the social sector," he concluded.



Kassas later received an award, on behalf of Minister Daouk, and certificates of appreciation were presented to the journalists and five associations that have contributed to the success of the project.
