Scientific Colloquium and National Plans
The Ministry announced that on this occasion, a scientific colloquium will be organized at the Center for Research, Studies, Documentation, and Information on Women (CREDIF) to announce the axes of the National Family Cohesion Plan by 2035 and the Executive Plan for Preparation and Qualification for Conjugal and Family Life.
