More Omani women must be encouraged to take up jobs in fashion design, tailoring, and embroidery, and need to be given the right support, the Youth and Human Resources Committee of the Majlis Al Shura has said. 

The committee made these suggestions after the Shura Council raised the idea of employing more local women in these fields, given their employment opportunities and economic contribution.

To share their insights and take this plan forward, the committee hosted Nasr bin Amer Al Hosni, the Undersecretary of Labour at the Ministry of Labour, along with representatives from the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion and the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
