The NCLW organises a planning workshop and denounces all forms of discrimination against women || Newspapers (Arabic)

The National Commission for Lebanese Women organized a workshop entitled “Strategic planning from a gender perspective within public institutions”.  The workshop was organised within the framework of developing the NCLW 2011-2012 operational plan and was in collaboration with the Bassel Fuleihan finance institute and Tanmyah Company.  The NCLW emphasized during the workshop that it refutes all forms of discrimination against women in laws and services as well as the nomenclature of jobs and positions in the public sector.

The workshop also sought to mobilize the gender focal points assigned in all Ministries as well as strengthen their role in mainstreaming gender in policies and national strategies.  Participants highlighted the various forms of discrimination against women in the nationality laws, labor laws, and coverage of the national Social Security Funds as well as pension schemes for working women and their families.  Participants also discussed the current discriminatory practices in both the diplomatic and judicial sectors.
