My Nationality is A Right for Me and My Family Campaign meeting in Shuf
22-10-2018
In partnership with My Nationality is A Right for Me and My Family Campaign, the PSP party affiliated Progressive Women Union- Shuf Office, organized a talk entitled, ‘The right of the Lebanese woman in conferring nationality to her family’ at the National Public Library of Baaqline. The Democratic Gathering MP, Hadi Abulhosson, who participated in the talk, said Lebanon will see a fair nationality law if all the political factions broke free of the outdated confessional and sectarian restrictions. Today, he said, the PSP has boldly, confidently and determinedly decided to take the challenge and submit the draft bill that observes women’s rights. Abulhosson enumerated the explanatory statements of the proposal referred to parliament on August 6 (c.f: http://lkdg.org/ar/node/17714), hoping it comes out with a modern legislation that plays fair to the rightful persons and addresses the many social and moral damages suffered by them. Similarly, My Nationality Campaign coordinator, Karima Chebbo, said, “Time and time again we have faced the same ridiculous contentions, like demographic distribution and naturalization,” asking why Lebanese men married to non-Lebanon have the right to pass nationality to their family and women cannot. Rights are indivisible, Chebbo maintained, and the law should apply to men and women equally. (NNA, October 19, 2018)
