As part of the ongoing efforts to enhance the role of Omani women in society and to empower them politically, economically and socially, the need has emerged to develop a practical vision for the future of gender equality in the country. ESCWA, in collaboration with the Department of Women’s Affairs at the Ministry of Social Development in Oman, organized a workshop on preparing the National Action Plan for Omani women.
Held in Muscat from 8 to 10 September, the workshop brought together representatives from various national entities, including ministries, official institutions, associations, civil society organizations, and trade unions. Participants discussed the status of women and reviewed the key steps for preparing the first action plan, starting with a diagnosis and analysis of the current situation.
The workshop focused on identifying priorities and strategic objectives that will serve as the foundation for developing the first national plan to advance the status of Omani women.
