| Damascus, (SANA) – |
Looking at women from a legislative and constitutional point of view can identify the position of women on the map of the society because legislations and constitutions specify rights, duties and responsibilities, Arab Parliament Speaker Houda Fathi bin Amer said.
Bin Amer's comments came during the opening of a symposium organized by the Arab Parliament on the situation of women in Arab legislations and constitutions under the title "Partnership, Development, Vitality… the Role of Arab Parliament in Developing and Unifying Legislations to Enable Women" in Damascus on Friday.
Bin Amer pointed out to the achievements of women struggle worldwide, including the UN Charter and the Human Rights Convention's support of equality between men and women.
