LACHIN, Azerbaijan, July 2. We want Azerbaijan to join the Healthy Cities Initiative, Representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Azerbaijan Hande Harmanci said at a panel session themed "The Role of Women in Urban Development" that was held as part of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) Women's Forum in Lachin, Trend's correspondent sent to Lachin reports.
Harmanci articulated that the female demographic experiences a
disproportionate impact from climate change phenomena.
"Investment in women's engagement within this domain is
imperative." It is imperative that they are integrated into the
urban governance frameworks. The amplification of female
perspectives is imperative, necessitating an environment where
their contributions are acknowledged and valued with the utmost
regard.
I anticipate that Azerbaijan will integrate into the Healthy Cities
Initiative framework. We are poised to leverage our expertise,
particularly in the Karabakh region. It is imperative that we
construct urban environments that prioritize safety and security,"
she elaborated.
The event facilitator, Elmar Mammadov, who oversees the Economic
Cooperation Division within Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, addressed Harmanci, indicating that discussions are
presently in progress with the World Health Organization regarding
