Bahrain,

A beautiful country I visited for a very short time,

now suffering from a crisis internal and regional one.

the stories and news I m receiving from Bahrain are mitigated.

I just hope for this country peace, and development based on tolerance, respect, and freedom of all citizens.

below dear friends and readers you may read pieces of what I m getting from Bahrain. the sources are sometimes known, sometimes not.

for all Men, Women working in Bahrain and living there, courage, and hope that the citizens of the country can truly live in a country for all, without discrimination for any part.

I am not sure of the source of the first link:  the pictures are not for young children to see or read. What I Refuse and do not tolerate are the Sectarian talk and comments on those pictures! NO  TO SECTARIAN DISCRIMINATION AND DIVISION IN BAHRAIN

a BEAUTIFUL TEXT BY A GROUP OF citizen in Bahrain, asking for a NATIONAL RECONCILIATION, LOVE, RESPECT, AND TOLERANCE AROUND ONE NATION.

in my opinion this message ” invitation for love” is to spread widely!

Dear Friends,

Cartes pour le Recital de Foi et Lumiere

As some of you may already know, I am volunteering since 2007  in Faith and Light . An association that works for people with mental handicap. The association assembles  volunteers of all ages, people with mental handicap and their parents, sisters, brothers,  in what we call communities.

The communities are divided according to the geographical  regions ( to help the group to meet in a near place to all). The activities are many, their aim is to recognise the other person, with mental disorder as a Person, as a Human Being, with full rights . the right to live in dignity, the right to live in the society, the right to have friends….

Do not hesitate to visit the entire trilingual Page I publish and update about faith and light activities in Lebanon!

I took the rest of the msg from richard event on Facebook. ” At the heart of these communities are people with a more or less serious intellectual disability: children, adolescent or adults.

Foi et Lumiere gives to persons with an intellectual disability the possibility of recognizing and using their gifts and discovering the joy of friendship. To the parents, Foi et Lumiere gives s…upport in their trials and helps them to better appreciate the inner beauty of their children. A number of them, in turn, become a source of strength and assistance to other parents who are crushed by their suffering and their daily difficulties.

It was thanks to persons with an intellectual disability, I also came to understand that there is another world, a world other than that of competition, money and material pleasures; those who are week and poor invited me into a world of tenderness and fidelity, of listening and of faith. There I understood the real meaning of Love.

In return, I am inviting you on April 9 at 19:30 to join the famous Abir Nehmeh for a recital in St Elias Church in Antelias. This event will help raise money for Foi et Lumiere and help it organize its activities. There are invitations for 20,000LL, 30,000LL and 50,000LL. If you want to do something noble this blessed season, why don’t you go listen to Abir’s Angelic voice.

Thank you for your consideration. Foi et Lumiere couldn’t do it without
the generosity of donors like yourself.

If you require additional information about Foi Et Lumiere, please contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. You may also visit http://www.foietlumierelb.org/english/indexeng.html online or contact them directly by phone at: Tel/Fax: + 961 4 525045 Mobile: + 961 3 799408″

Your support is very important!!!

Oui,

j ai étudie pour 15 ans dans un lycée laïc, ou les différences culturelles et religieuses étaient respectées!

je n’arrive pas a rester enfermée, encerclée dans un cercle communautaire précis, un cercle qui m’étouffe en tant que femme, et en tant que citoyenne.

hier, dimanche 6 mars,  mon rêve était très beau, plusieurs milliers de personnes demandaient comme moi, un état laïc, un état qui respecte les religions confessions, dans les sphères privées, et un état qui prône la laicité haut et fort!

jeune, enfants, vieux, vieilles, chiens, Tous et toutes étaient au rendez vous, pour dire non au système confessionnel, oui a la laicite, un Etat Laic qui respecte les droits de tous et toutes!

une très belle manifestation ou j’ai arboré toute fière ma propre affiche : oui a une loi unique et laïque pour le statut personnel au Liban!

قانون مدني موحد للاحوال الشخصية

a vous tous et toutes qui y étaient: Chapeau!

Rita

The CEDAW: or the bill of rights for Women around the world.

A convention that has been ratified by Lebanon in 1996, but with exceptions, mainly on the article 16:  Marriage, and Family law. Yes Lebanon, one of the most modern country in the Middle East has used it s right to say no to some provision of international convention, provision that can help it s Women to be  Full Right Citizens, a first class citizen.

But no, the State has a confessional political and religious system, so  reservations have been made on an international convention. Reservation that nullify the convention and the gender equality in our beautiful and modern Cedar Country.

Reservation that deepens discrimination between people in My country.

Family law, adoption, inheritance are not regulated by a Unified code between all Citizens, but by personal religious courts.

That is why Lebanon has exercised  its right not to implement certain provisions of the treaty, even though Lebanon has signed and ratified the  CEDAW!

I am a lebanese women, a lebanese citizen and I aspire to be:

a complete Citizen, having the same rights as my fellow lebanese women citizen without regard to their confession.

a full right citizen.

I aspire to be:

a full right citizen, without discrimination between me and my fellow men citizen.

I aspire to have my Rights as a Human being related to a State not just to a confession.

Let me believe at home in my personal square and sphere,

let me be and react in a State where the Lebanese community prevails,

Yes I aspire to let the Lebanese Community Be.

Yes I want my state to lift the reservations on the CEDAW convention,

for me to be,

for MY LEBANESE COMMUNITY TO Exist!
