Analysis of the Statute of Rural Women

Various ongoing initiatives to promote equality were also discussed, such as the event titled 'Women Who Transform, Women Who Inspire', scheduled for next week.
Gratitude and the Importance of the Female Role
The deputy minister expressed her gratitude to the associations for their work in promoting equity in the agricultural, fishing, and agri-food sectors, highlighting their impact on rural development.
