The women committee of the Free Patriotic Movement organized a luncheon on the occasion of Mothers’ Day at the Hilton Hotel under the auspices of Ms. Nadia Michel Aoun.  The women committee started the event with a presentation of a general report by Elsi Moufarrij followed by a surprise appearance by General Michel Aoun.  Aoun addressed the audience highlighting the role of women in educating members of the society and the necessity to restore women’s rights and to eliminate all differences between women and men especially in the letter of the laws.  Aoun also noted that despite the plurality of society in Lebanon, his party is still seeking to endorse the law to protect women from domestic violence.
