My Nationality Campaign follow up with Democratic Gathering
5-4-2019
A delegation from My Nationality is A Right For Me And My Family Campaign met yesterday the Democratic Gathering MP Hadi Abul Hosn to discuss the latest updates on the nationality law amendment proposal submitted by the Gathering to secure women’s right to confer nationality to their family members (c.f: https://goo.gl/8psCAh). Both sides agreed on a number of steps to be launched by the beginning of next week. Abu Hosn promised to discuss the issue with House Speaker on the one hand, and coordinate with relevant committees, notably the Defense, the Interior and Municipalities, and the Administration and Justice committees, on the other, demanding inclusion of bill on agenda of said committees. For her part, the Campaign’s coordinator, Karima Shebbo, in agreement with Abul Hosn, categorically rejected all partial solutions, like studying files separately or issuance of so- called green cards, because, as she maintained, rights cannot be manipulated according to preferential and confessional standards. Shebbo explained that Lebanese women’s right to grant nationality to their children has been hijacked and should be remedied the sooner, ensuring a gender equality in complete citizenship. The Campaign commended Abul Hosn’s human rights and humanitarian approach away from unfounded concerns to the end of achieving social justice for all.
