21-3-2018
In support of women’s nomination for the parliamentary elections, L’Orient Le Jour spotlighted the career life of Nayla Geagea running on ‘Li Baladi’ electoral list (Beirut 2nd constituency) and the independent candidate Nadine Mussa (Metn area). Geagea, L’Orient Le Jour wrote, is a lawyer from South Lebanon holding a degree from the Lebanese University. She has been campaigning since 2005 to endorse the optional civil marriage law and eventually, a civil state. Her program for the elections focuses on the garbage crisis, unemployment, full health coverage, development policies and social justice, in addition to elimination of all forms of discrimination, not only against women but also against marginalized people, elderlies and migrant workers, she told L’Orient Le Jour reporter. Nadine Mussa, on the other hand, is also a lawyer with a degree from USJ and a Master’s from Sorbonne University, France. She is an acclaimed political, social and human rights activist and the first Lebanese woman to run for the Presidential elections back in 2014. She also believes that reforms cannot be achieved without relevant legislations, particularly in relation to corruption which she has given special attention in her elections program, besides the waste management, traffic, pollution, joblessness, inflation, electricity and water issues, the newspaper reported. (L’Orient Le Jour, March 20, 21, 2018).
