The Albanian parliament on Friday authorized a women-dominated cupboard after 20 hours of parliamentary debate.
The nation’s parliament voted 77–53 for the brand new cupboard beneath Prime Minister Edi Ram.
Of the 17 cupboard seats, 12 might be occupied by girls.
Global rating rise
The newly elected prime minister mentioned his new authorities would “enter history as the cabinet with the most women.”
According to the newest UN figures, Albania now ranks fifth globally within the illustration of girls within the cupboard.
The 57-year-old politician has led girls to prime positions all through her profession.
Gender discrimination ‘far too far’
Before the vote, Rama mentioned that discrimination towards girls continues to be prevalent in Albanian society.
“The fight against gender discrimination and domestic violence is very open and far from winning,” he mentioned.
Ram was voted as prime minister for the third time in April, following the sweeping electoral victory of his left-wing Socialist Party.
He mentioned preventing crime could be one in all his priorities for his third time period.
What has the cupboard promised?
Rama mentioned the brand new authorities would deal with infrastructure initiatives, combating the pandemic and repairing the harm brought on by the devastating earthquake in late 2019.
The Balkan nation has been a member of NATO since 2009 and seeks EU membership.
