20-12-2017
The Lebanese writer and university researcher Fahmiya Sharafiddine received the Lebanese Creativity award for 2017 granted by the Lebanese Cultural Forum in Paris. To recall, that for the past two decades, the Forum has been presenting two respective annual symbolic prizes, for the Lebanese Creativity and the Arab Creativity that have gone to distinguished figures in the fields of arts and literature. On the occasion, the head of the Forum, Nabil Abu Chakra, told AFP that Sharafiddine is doing serious and modern work and anticipates the future in all that she does, adding that “she sincerely writes what she thinks, and has been given this award for all these special qualities,” Abu Chakra maintained. Dr. Sharafiddine teaches at the Lebanese University and is very well known as an advocate for human rights and for Arab women causes. Recently, she has staunchly fought for the rights of the Lebanese women to give nationality to their children, Abu Chakra said. Commenting on the award, Sharafiddine told AFP that it gave her an incentive to keep her work hoping that she truly deserves what she received. (An Nahar, December 20, 2017)
