The Lebanese Council to Resist Violence Against Women LECORVAW, condemned in a statement yesterday all forms of violence against Lebanese women, including repression, intimidation, humiliation, physical abuse or masculine ill-treatment. The statement rejected any attempt to abort the determination of Lebanese women who proved to be an asset of strength for the people and for the nation. Women around the world, the statement says, have played a leading role in revolutions and in fighting injustice, corruption, tyranny and repression of freedoms and rights, the statement said. And since Lebanese women and girls have exhibited vigor and courage during their exceptional role in the demonstrations, LECORVAW demands bringing to justice all those who carry out any act of aggression against any woman or girl who take active part in building their nation by physical, verbal or moral assault and holding them accountable and severely penalizing them, the statement concluded.
