Lebanese Women and Dismal Political Participation

Nadya Khalife, researcher with the Women’s Rights Division of Human Rights Watch, writes in the Huffington Post on the limited political participation of women in Lebanon. Khalife comments that women must unite to achieve change: “For women, like me, who believe in fairness and equality, women’s exclusion from the political process is a sign for civil society to step up…We must mobilize women to become politically active, to participate in the daily decisions that affect our lives.”
