“Women in Lebanese Politics”

This documentary film features the challenges and successes to increase women’s participation in current political life in Lebanon. We learn about programs and efforts encouraging women to run and vote. A 30% women’s quota was proposed at the Lebanese parliament by some women’s organizations and government officials, but was rejected.

We follow female political activists from the Lebanese Association for Democratic Elections (LADE) and learn about what prompted them to be active in political life, in comparison to some of the apathetic youths.
