MP Yacubian supports My Nationality is a Right for Me and My Family campaign

31-7-2018

My Nationality is A Right For Me And My Family Campaign met yesterday with newly elected MP Paula Yacubian to cooperate in order to reach an amendment to the nationality code and enable Lebanese women to confer their nationality to their families. The delegation, which included campaign coordinator, Karima Shebbo, Zoya Ruhana and coordinating committee member Nadira Daabul, handed Yacubian the Campaign’s file which contains the draft bill, relevant studies and research, the Campaign’s stance towards the proposed laws and the main amendments introduced to the nationality laws in some Arab countries. The meeting discussed current facts and arguments against adjusting above law, stressing the importance of the inclusiveness of the bill to the end of ensuring complete and full equality between men and women in the country without exceptions, noting that any breach or violation would nurture discrimination among citizens. Yacubian for her part, voiced support to the Campaign’s demands, revealing that she will vote in favor of this Law Petition and will work to secure its ratification. (Al Mustaqbal, July 31, 2018)
