A movement in good company:voices of lebanese women

This post is based on interviews with Lebanese women activists involved in the October 2019 protests. Quotes throughout the blog are taken from these interviews. Protests in Lebanon have seen women’s demands incorporated by the movement, yet their demands are yet to be recognised and implemented by the government. Meray Maddah, spoke to some of the female activists about their call for systemic reform that fosters a better status for women in Lebanese society.
