SESRIC participated in the Coordination Meeting at the Expert Level for the Preparation of OIC Strategy for Family and Marriage Institution Empowerment held on 12-13 June 2019 at the International Islamic University of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.

Representatives from the OIC, SESRIC, ISESCO and International Islamic University of Malaysia came together to discuss first draft of the OIC Family and Marriage Institution Empowerment Strategy.

The OIC has introduced the project of coming up with a comprehensive strategy for Family and Marriage Institution Empowerment to strengthen the family as a core component of society in the Islamic world.

At the Expert Level Meeting, a number of topics related to the family and marriage union were deliberated ranging from the common challenges the family and marriage institution currently faces to discussion on the concrete policy actions that can be taken to strengthen and empower the family across the OIC.

SESRIC provided important insights and expertise to consolidate the first draft and important progress was made in the process of finalization of the document to be presented at the intergovernmental meeting later on in this year.
