Kataeb supports equal right of women to nationality
4-9-2019
A delegation from My Nationality is a Right for Me and My Family Campaign met yesterday the Kataeb Party MP, Samy Gemayel regarding the latest development concerning the amendment of the bill on the right of Lebanese women to confer nationality to their family members. In a statement after the meeting, the Campaign discussed with Gemayel the current legal situation and presented the main proposals raised recently, notably those submitted separately by MPs Hadi Abul Hosn, Rula Tabsh and Inaya Izzedine, as well as the NCLW draft. After deliberating the distinctive provisos of each proposal, the Campaign urged Gemayel to adopt the fairer laws which better correspond to its proposition, namely those submitted by MPs Abul Hosn and Tabsh. The Campaign also called for stepping up the process in the legislature to be presented for ratification. It asked the Kataeb parliamentary bloc to vote in favor of the rights of women without discrimination. For his part, MP Gemayel stressed his total backing of laws which seek to achieve full and effective citizenship for all citizens, men and women on the principle of equality, noting that any conditions set for obtaining citizenship should apply to women and men alike. He pledged to coordinate with My Nationality Campaign to ensure fair voting in favor of an all-inclusive and just law which observes the principles of justice and equality among citizens.
