New parliamentary committee maybe established

Azerbaijani Ombudsman Elmira Suleymanova proposed the creation of the Committee for Family, Women and Children in the Parliament of Azerbaijan.

Suleymanova, speaking with this proposal on Tuesday at a conference on children's rights, believes that the establishment of this committee will further strengthen efforts to protect the rights of women and children.

Creating of such a committee is important, Suleymanova told reporters. "It would be very helpful if the legislation contained provisions relating to children, women and family" Suleymanova added.

Ombudsman also proposed to establish a budget for children and women. "United States has set a task to create a special budget for women and children" Suleymanova said.

Suleymanova noted that the existence of such a budget is necessary for the implementation of relevant policies and government programs.
