following my article on the women and power in lebanon, and women and quota in lebanon,
here is the latest update that happened related to women and their political participation.
in 2013, 43 women listed below presented their candidacy to be Member of Parliament.
the Problem is that the parliament has deleted election law of 1960, and now in Lebanon there is a gap … does the actual parliament will stay? or elections will be organised soon?
while waiting for A PARLIAMENT TO BE ELECTED, AND FOR IT TO MEET in A GENERAL ASSEMBLY and vote for the Laws lingering in the drawers,
