Minister of Home Affairs, Sheikh Imran Abdulla, has said that he hopes to see more representatives from women in local Councils following the implementation of decentralization by this administration.

Sheikh Imran said this in a tweet yesterday. He said that he hopes there will be more representation for women in local Councils by the time amendments are made to laws that implement a decentralized system in Maldives.

The Minister has also said that women are highly victimized in social justice issues. He said that increasing representatives of women in authoritative positions will build a society that deals with fewer social justice issues.
