SANA'A, May 13 (Saba)- Local Administration Minister Abdul-Qater Hilal said that four women would be appointed in the positions of district managers in four provinces.

Hilal added that women managers of the four districts would be the first step to expand this policy in other provinces of the country, pointing that the appointments would be in the capital Sana'a and
Aden, Taiz, Hodeidah and Ibb provinces.

He affirmed this experiment aims at strengthening the effective participation of women in political and administrative life and decision-making positions, adding that this step would contribute to
arguing the society to accept woman's access to the post of governor in future.
