Jordan is taking serious steps towards women's rights at all ministerial levels, the country's Ambassador to Azerbaijan Omar Al-Nahar said at the conference of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) on "Advancing Women's Rights and Empowerment", News.az reports.
“In the fight against violence against women, we are guided by justice and equality. The participation of women in all spheres is necessary. Given that women can contribute to the country’s economy, certain steps have been taken this year,” he added.
Baku is hosting the NAM conference on "Advancing Women's Rights and Empowerment" under the joint organization of Azerbaijan (the current NAM chair), Uganda, and Uzbekistan (the future NAM chairs).
The event is held on the basis of initiatives voiced by President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the ministerial meeting of the NAM Coordination Bureau in July this year.
