Women activists in Tyre demand an emergency plan for security and safety || Newspapers (Arabic)

A number of women activists in Tyre contacted the Municipal head Hassan Dbouk calling for an emergency security plan including heightening security patrols by the municipal police and regulating the movement of motorcycles.  The activists also called for the setting up of a hotline so that citizens are able to report abuses, in addition to installing street cameras.  This is mainly comes following the increased incident of theft and kidnapping attempts targeting women in the region.  As a result of the meeting the Municipal head forwarded the petition to the South Lebanon governor, Nicolas Abou Daher, who promised to follow-up the matter with the security forces.
