Interactive theatre on women’s quota in the north

The Lebanese Women Democratic Gathering in cooperation with the Social Sciences Institute at the Lebanese University- Al Kobba, presented last Saturday an interactive theatre on women’s quota entitled ‘Politics for Men… Why not for Us’. The activity comes as part of the ‘Civil Mobilization and Advocacy for Electoral Reform’ program. Speaking on the occasion, Nariman Chamaa, the Program’s coordinator in the North stressed the need for such quota as a transitional measure until after women win an impartial representation in elected councils. In the same vein, the Social Sciences School Director Dr. Ghassan Khaled, emphasized the importance of promoting awareness in the community to this end. Towards the end, LWDG member participants performed the interactive show to demonstrate the women’s quota theme. (An Nahar, Al Mustaqbal, November 9, 2015)
