My Nationality campaign: Diab's government will not me missed
12-8-2020
Commenting on the resignation of Hassan Diab’s government on Monday, My Nationality is a Right for Me and My Family Campaign said in a statement that it is not sorry for the fall of the government which overlooked the demands of Lebanese women. The ministerial statement, the Campaign noted, has not dealt with women’s issues or put any plan to reform discriminatory laws In fact, the Diab government has deliberately disregarded the rights of Lebanese women and their families in all its circulars and decisions, including during the coronavirus pandemic. It also ridiculed voices and initiatives demanding social justice and gender equality in rights and entitlements. The former government did not make an effort to respond to reports or data documenting the daily distresses families of Lebanese women face as a result of discrimination and racism against them, the Campaign statement said. And beside its slackness in addressing the rights of women, the former government has violated a number of those rights, the statement added, calling for knocking down any system that manipulates women’s rights for sectarian and political considerations. This same government, like its predecessors, was undependable busying itself with insignificant discussions and the formation of committees with virtually zero achievements. “Not any one of the mentioned committees or the six female ministers has taken the trouble to address any issue involving women’s rights, particularly the rights of Lebanese women to nationality,” My Nationality Campaign statement said, criticizing the weak response of the government to the devastating explosion of Beirut Port. “Diab’s government has resigned, and we are not sorry. But we are sorry for the country and its capital that was shattered under the rubble of corruption and negligence.” (The statement is on the following link: (https://www.facebook.com) / jinsiyati).
