To build and develop the capabilities of Omani women, a symposium dedicated to understand their needs was organized and His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, has adopted the recommendation of the symposium and those recommendations were considered as a plan of action for a new phase that will enable women to enjoy many privileges that ensure equality with men in rights and duties. As such, three centers were established for the care and rehabilitation of disabled women, and the seventeenth of October of each year has been designated as Omani Women's day. As a reminder, Oman has signed the International Convention on the elimination of all forms of Discrimination against women of 1979, and ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989 and the two protocols of the convention on the Right of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution, child pornography and the involvement of children in armed conflicts of 2000.
