The meeting will also review and improve the OIC Plan of Action for the Advancement of Women (OPAAW) which was adopted in 2008.
The OIC noted in a statement that it is expected that the outcome of this meeting will provide a comprehensive vision for the advancement of women, and the role assigned to women in the overall development process, especially in light of such challenges as illiteracy, lack of training, poor healthcare, domestic violence against women and the ongoing armed conflict and instability facing some member states.
