Following are Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s remarks on International
Women’s Day at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting today (Sunday),
6.3.05:
“This week we will all mark International Women’s Day. I see this issue as
very important. My government is greatly interested in increasing the
involvement of women in all areas of society. I am proud of the fact that
my government is the first in the history of the state in which
one-quarter of ministry director-generals are women. But this datum is not
enough and we must reach the day when one-quarter of the director-generals
are men. The
Authority for the Advancement of the Status of Women headed by Yehudit
Plotkin will coordinate this year’s events on the issue of equality of
opportunity in the workplace, including the promotion of supportive work
environments. Today, we will be briefed on the issue."
