Lebanon celebrates today Women International Day, while the women of Lebanon are still unprotected and subjected to legal, political, economic and morale injustice, as demonstrated by the government rejection of a law proposal allowing women to pass their nationality to their children and yet the country will witness today and during the coming days a flurry of activities and actions celebrating this international day.
Within the same vein, one women group, Nasawiya organized yesterday a protest in downtown, demanding that Parliament endorses the law protecting women from domestic violence within a week or otherwise threatening to go on huger strike in front of the parliament.
