Program Introduction:
The women's program
is backed by UJRC's main goals that ensued special attention to human
development issues, political participation, politically increasing
the affiliation of weak figures in society, practicing election and
candidacy laws, and providing fair opportunities for the weak figures
to participate in making political, economic and social decisions.
UJRC gave special
attention to women's movements and organizations, considering them
as one of the essential branches of civil society and its organizational
bodies. UJRC worked on monitoring the reality of the status of women,
and researching the obstacles and problems it faces, in order to develop
their level of participation in life.
The philosophy
of the program is from the notion that women are the center of social
change, modernization and complete development. The program aims to
involve women in the political and decision-making processes, and
provide them with fair representation and participation opportunities.
The women's program (one of the first programs at UJRC) works on organizing
conferences, seminars and training workshops, as well as conducting
research and releasing reports and books.
