She also delivered her speech. "It pleases me to thank you for your initiative to promote your message which reveals that the Arab woman can contribute effectively in her society, and produce promising generations," Princess Hissa said in her speech that was delivered on her behalf by Professor Al-Khothaila.
She added that Arab woman is still in the initial stage to assert her productive position in the society as she is the second half of the society, Saudi Gazette reports.
"The missing role of Arab woman goes back to centuries of ignorance. Thus, she felt the heavy weight, but with her determination, she has started on her way to overcome obstacles," Princess Hissa said.
