MDP women hold activity under theme

MDP women held an activity at Lonuziyaaraiy kolhu last night under the theme ‘Democracy Discussion’.

The ‘Democracy Discussion’ is to be attended by three women representing each of the 77 administrative zones of the Maldives. Participants presented their views on Dr Waheed’s government last night.

Former President Mohamed Nasheed expressed happiness that this is the first time such a large number of women gathered to hold a political ‘discussion’. He said that women’s role needs to be increased.

The activity was conducted similar to a Parliament session, with MDP’s former Chairperson Mariya Ahmed Didi acting as the Speaker. Former State Minister for Islamic Affairs Sheikh Hussain Rasheed Ahmed, former Youth Minister Hassan Latheef and former Cabinet Secretary Hisaan Hussain answered questions posed by ‘Democracy Discussion’ members.

MDP ‘women’s spirit’ said that last night’s discussion will continue this morning; however, the next session of ‘Democracy Discussion’ will be held in Gdh. Thinadhoo.
