The Lebanese Media Foundation- Ruwad Min Lobnan honored on Friday the head of the Lebanese Council of Women, Dr. Aman Kabara Shaarani, for her contributions in the national, social and feminist fields and was handed the Shield of Ruwad as a pioneer figure in education and social work. On the occasion, the media coordination office, Mariam Beydoun, praised Kabara giving a synopsis of her career life. Kabara, Beydoun said, is a former professor at the Faculty of Education- Lebanese University. She was appointed director of the department in 1978, and chaired LCW from 1992 to 1996 and from 2008 to 2012. She headed the National Committee for the Follow-up on Women’s Issues (1996-2008) and represented LCW in many committees. She represented the Lebanese University at the Parliament and at several local and international conferences and lectured in various educational and women related matters, in addition to publishing a number of books and publications. Shaarani in turn, said her honoring in these circumstances is a joy to her, adding that her involvement in feminist action is an achievement which sought to blend in the various social groups in one national initiative. “One should admit the abilities, competencies and contributions of women in society as active and equal components on par with men,” Shaarani concluded.
