Maarouf Saad Foundation organizes a workshop on CEDAW in Saida || Newspapers (Arabic)

The Maarouf Saad Social, Charitable and Cultural Foundation organized last week an awareness raising workshop on CEDAW at the Mada Centre in Saida.  The workshop which was attended by 36 women including activists from local civil society organizations, was facilitated by two social workers who focused on various forms of discrimination such as that against Lebanese women married to non-nationals, and against non-Lebanese children in public schools, child custody after divorce, gaps in the national social security fund where women are unable to benefit their spouses and thus lose out on their social entitlements.
