New proposals to address unfair laws against women
2-10-2019
The Lebanese Council to Combat Violence against Women organized yesterday a round table on ‘Unfair laws against women and girls”. This comes as part of ‘The Empowerment and Protection of Women and Girls’ project implemented by LECORVAW in collaboration with UNICEF. The topics discussed varied between religious, social, psychological and legal aspects. Recommendations released at the end of the event called for the following: the integration of human rights materials in the educational curricula; work to change the stereotypical images of women starting from home education in order to prevent replicating the patriarchal culture laden with violence against women; the need to enact new legislations; organizing pre-marital awareness and guidance workshops and courses; the legal empowerment of women to the end of protection and gender equality through amendment or repeal of current laws; execution of relevant penalties by lawmen and police; asking assistance from spiritual circles to spread religious awareness on how to deal with the other, and finally, the need to join forces between the civil society, religious authorities and all partners in Lebanon through open dialogue.
