US Senior Banking Advisor hails Morocco's efforts for women's empowermentRabat - Inter-American Development Bank Senior Advisor and former US treasurer Mme Anna Escobedo Cabral commended on Monday the efforts made by the Kingdom for the consolidation of women's rights.
In a statement to MAP on the occasion of a conference organized by the Interior Ministry in partnership with the International Republican Institute (IRI), Escobedo Cabral said she is "impressed" by the actions initiated by Morocco to enable women have access to the sphere of decision-making. Morocco is faced today with a challenge in the field of rural girls' schooling, the former US treasurer said, affirming that school dropouts deprive young girls of a lot of opportunities, a phenomenon that has an overall negative impact on society. The conference, in which Anna Escobedo took part, mustered over 150 senior officials from the Home Department and civil society to look into the progress and major achievements made by Moroccan women.
