The minister also shared the Mauritius' experience on having major improvements in the country since the appointment of women into politics. Fazila added that Mauritius with only 1.2 million population where 52 per cent were women said it was important to have more women holding executive roles in the private sector. “The local government has created incentives for the private sector on hiring women, and few years ago we saw a gradual increase in the hiring of women, and in the top management. Palestine governor (Ramallah and Al-Bireh) Dr. Laila Ghannam said the Palestinian women were given equal opportunities to help politics and development of the country.
