The first webinar in the series focused on Qatar's upcoming Shura Council elections in October 2021 and women's participation in them, as a major milestone that will yield future outcomes not only within the country, but the entire region. After the elections, the power of the country's highest legislative body will be expanded in accordance with the Qatari Constitution, it was explained in a statement.
