Qatar: Qatar participates in the work of the 67th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women

The State of Qatar participated in the work of the 67th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, which this year focuses on innovation, technological change and education in the digital age, to enhance work and bridge gaps in this field. The State of Qatar’s delegation to the session was headed by Her Excellency Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser Al-Misned, Minister of Social Development and Family, via visual communication technology. Her Excellency Mrs. Maryam bint Ali Al-Misned affirmed that the State of Qatar is committed to increasing investment and advancing self-, bilateral, multilateral and international efforts, in order to promote digitization and education, as they are the main determinants of the human family’s path towards overcoming various challenges, foremost of which is the empowerment of women and girls. She referred to the experience of the State of Qatar, which focused on developing the knowledge economy and providing a digital infrastructure from which women in the country benefited tangibly and significantly, as she cited the definition of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, that the economy is based on knowledge and its priorities, and on creative competition between Countries in the field of technology, and the deep interest in education, as it is the main key to shift towards this type of creative innovative economies. She said that the Qatari experience in adopting a knowledge economy, according to which it was able to significantly improve human, material and structural resources over the past two decades, and perhaps the international classification of the State of Qatar on digital access in global indicators is an affirmation of the effectiveness of the relevant Qatari experience. Her Excellency indicated that the State of Qatar was not satisfied with the generous investments in the field of knowledge economy and infrastructure development, as this was accompanied by large spending rates on education, which was clearly reflected on women, pointing out that women’s leadership reached in Qatar in 2021 about 57 percent, which is a percentage higher than the global average. She expressed her great optimism about the successes of Qatari women, expecting that these percentages will continue to rise thanks to the resources and supportive policies given to women and their deep involvement in university education in various sciences and fields of knowledge, as well as the distinguished representation that women enjoy in many areas of diplomatic, security, legal and pioneering work. . Her Excellency praised the topic that was chosen as an international framework for discussion on this important occasion, especially since the time to raise it came during the period when international efforts are concerted, in order to harness technology to promote social justice and empower women’s communities around the world to face various challenges. She pointed out that the knowledge economy, which in its foundations links digitization and education, is the ideal solution for women, as it provides them with all modern means to work, earn, contribute to the national domestic product, and enjoy a decent and comfortable life.
