In his speech during the general debate of the 77th General Assembly of the United Nations, Akhannouch recalled that HM King Mohammed VI has given a new impetus to the process of enshrining gender equality, through the comprehensive implementation of the provisions of the Family Code.
Aware of the importance of the full participation of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, Morocco has launched the first national action plan for women, peace and security as a comprehensive policy framework, and this in application of the Security Council Resolution 1325, the Head of Government recalled.
Akhannouch said that gender equality and the consolidation of women’s rights and their full participation in decision-making remains an essential condition to face current and future challenges at the global level.
