			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="RTL"><big><strong>أصدرتْ حملة مقاطعة داعمي &#8220;إسرائيل&#8221; في لبنان البيانَ الآتي:</strong><br />
</big></p>
<p dir="RTL"><big>هل بات لبنانُ مسرحاً لمن هبّ ودبّ من داعمي العدوّ الإسرائيليّ؟ فبعد بلاسيبو، ودي جاي تييستو، وآرمين فان بيورين، وغيرهم ممن أحيوْا حفلاتٍ في لبنان بعد إحيائهم حفلاتٍ ف&#8230;ي &#8220;إسرائيل&#8221;، متجاهلين جرائمَ هذه الدولة وعنصريتَها واحتلالَها وانتهاكَها لسيادتنا، يستضيف كازينو لبنان حفلاً للمغنّية لارا فابيان في عيد العشّاق (14 و15 شباط 2012). الجدير ذكرُه أنّ فابيان غنّت في فرنسا، وباللغة العبريّة، في احتفال الذكرى الستين لتأسيس&#8221;إسرائيل&#8221; (25 أيّار 2008)، أغنيةً من الموروث الاستيطانيّ الصهيونيّ للشاعرة الصهيونيّة نعومي شيمر، معلنة في نهاية العرض الكلماتِ الآتية: &#8220;إسرائيل، أنا أحبّكِ!&#8221;. كما سبق أن غنّت في تل أبيب (في نهاية آذار 2010)، وشاركتْ في احتفال &#8220;سركل بن غوريون&#8221; الصهيونيّ في بروكسل. إننا نناشد كازينو لبنان، وهو مؤسّسة تملك الدولةُ اللبنانيّةُ نصيبًا كبيرًا فيها، سحبَ الدعوة من هذه المغنّية الداعمة للصهيونيّة. ونناشد الرعاة سحبَ تمويلهم لزيارتها. كما ننبّه وزارتي السياحة والثقافة إلى هذا الاختراق التطبيعيّ الخطير للبنان. وندعو مواطني شعبنا كافّةً إلى الامتناع عن الذهاب إلى حفل فابيان: فمن يغنّي في الكيان الصهيونيّ يتغاضى عن جرائمه؛ فكيف إذا غنّى في ذكرى اغتصاب &#8220;إسرائيل&#8221; لفلسطين؟ إنّ غناء فابيان في الذكرى الستين لتأسيس الكيان الغاصب هو تأييدٌ فاضحٌ للممارسات الإسرائيليّة الإجراميّة في فلسطين ولبنان والجولان والبلاد العربيّة طوال هذه العقود. إنّ من يغنّي للاحتلال والعنصرية لا يمكن أن يغنّي لفالانتين، لا يمكن أن يغنّي للعشق والحبّ!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of arguments have surfaced against the criminalization of marital rape, against considering forced sex between spouses rape, and against its inclusion in the law to protect family violence currently being deliberated in parliament. Nasawiya presented some of these arguments and their rebuttals in order to dispel the myths that continue to plague women’s sexual rights and bodily integrity &#8211; whether in law, public perception, or in her power of negotiation in intimate relationships. You can watch the video in Arabic below from the event held at Babel Theater in Beirut on November 15, 2011. Check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150461788025734.425743.337567040733&amp;type=3" target="_blank">the photo gallery here</a>.</p>
<p>We’ve noticed two kinds of arguments: those about whether marital rape is rape at all and arguments about whether or not it should be criminalized in the penal code. We hope you share with us your commentaries, arguments, and opinions in the open discussion that will happen afterwards.</p>
<p><object width="420" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EAYWgv8JWEo?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="420" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EAYWgv8JWEo?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p><strong>ARGUMENT: There is no such thing as marital rape because it is a wife’s duty to give her husband sex, so he can’t possibly rape her. He is just exercising his right.</strong></p>
<p>Mbala there is, rape is forced sex. Whenever sex is forced, whenever it is not consensual, it is rape. And rape is a very serious crime against a person’s body, mind, and spirit. It doesn’t matter if it’s within the context of marriage or a relationship or whatever the excuse is. No man has the right (Divine or otherwise) to rape his wife. Any religious interpretation that condones this is one that is erasing the bodily autonomy and integrity of women.</p>
<p>Marital rape does not exist in a void – it often comes as part of a relationship that is marred with violence and exploitation and abuse. And the arguments that normalize it exist within a patriarchal society that continuously places women’s bodies at the service of the state, the family, religion, and capitalism.</p>
<p><strong>ARGUMENT: Marital rape has its reasons, if a wife continuously refuses sexual relations with her husband or if she is cold, or shy, or can’t initiate sex or she provokes her husband.</strong></p>
<p>A woman is her own person first, before being a wife. Her marital obligations don’t mean that she wipes out her own bodily and sexual autonomy. She does not “belong” to her husband. If she refuses to do anything, sex especially, it is her full right as a human being to say no and not have to face force and rape. Sexual problems within a couple are to be solved with communication and negotiation, never with force or violence.</p>
<p><strong>ARGUMENT: Marital rape is a Western phenomenon. It doesn’t exist in our countries and this demand is trying to ruin our cultural values.</strong></p>
<p>The demand to address marital rape emerged from years of direct work with women in Lebanon, from their daily stories and struggles. Marital rape exists in all cultures – ours included – and it needs to be dealt with without the excuse of dismissing our demands as Western because they are not. Dealing with culturally-sensitive issues is not the same thing as preserving traditions that have harmed oppressed our populations for ages.</p>
<p><strong>=======</strong></p>
<p><strong>ARGUMENT: Religious courts already deal with marital rape and they know how to do it best. It is not the job of the Penal Code. Families are sacred &amp; every religion has its particular rules, so every family must follow its religious rules.</strong></p>
<p>Obviously, if women in Lebanon are crying out against lack of protection, it must mean religious courts are failing miserably. We reject the sectarian system that divides among women in Lebanon – weakening their collective struggle and giving them the worst end of the personal status laws – across all sects without exception. Families are not sacred and homes are not forbidden. They are social structures that change and adapt for the betterment of society and culture. We demand a unified law that preserves the human rights of women outside of sectarian differences. Plus, the rape law exists anyway in the Penal Code, and it is in the penal code that we want it amended not to exclude spouses.</p>
<p><strong>ARGUMENT: Criminalizing marital rape will dismantle the family, fathers will lose respect, and children will be traumatized.</strong></p>
<p>Rape is violence and violence itself dismantles the family. If the mother is unhappy and oppressed, the children will be affected anyway. Why do we want to preserve the image and respect of a father who is abusive towards his wife? What kind of children is that rearing anyway? A protective law will inhibit violence and rape and can only be good for the children and the health of the family.</p>
<p><strong>ARGUMENT: It is still a sensitive topic, if we make it illegal right away, society won’t know how to deal with it.</strong></p>
<p>Khalas sensitive topics. It is not sensitive to the women who have to suffer it. It is a public concern, for us as a society and a culture, for our men and women, it is a logical, basic human right and if you think our society is so perfect anyway, you wouldn’t mind a protective law. What do you have to fear?</p>

<h5 id="internal-source-marker_0.6590873369738238" style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">ظهرت حجج كثيرة ضد تجريم الاغتصاب الزوجي وضد اعتبار الجماع القسري بين الزوجين اغتصاباً وضد إدراجه في القانون الذي يجري تداوله في مجلس النواب حالياً لحماية النساء من العنف الأسري. عرضت &#8220;نسوية&#8221; بعض هذه الحجج والردود عليها بهدف تبديد الخرافات التي ما زالت تحرم المرأة من حقوقها الجنسية وسلامتها الجسدية، سواء في القانون أو في التصور العام أو في قدرتها على التفاوض ضمن نطاق العلاقات الحميمة. شاهدوا أدناه باللغة العربية الفيديو الذي تم تصويره ضمن الحدث الذي جرى على مسرح بابل في بيروت بتاريخ 15 نوفمبر 2011. وتفقدوا <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150461788025734.425743.337567040733&amp;type=3">معرض الصور هنا</a>.</h5>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">وقد لاحظنا نوعين من الحجج: تلك التي تتساءل ما إذا كان الاغتصاب الزوجي اغتصاباً حقاً وتلك التي تتساءل ما إذا ينبغي تجريمه في قانون العقوبات. نأمل أن تشاركونا تعليقاتكم وحججكم وآرائكم في المناقشة المفتوحة التي ستجري تالياً.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;"></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">الحجة: ليس هناك ما يسمّى بالاغتصاب الزوجي لأنه من واجب الزوجة أن تقدّم العلاقة الجنسية لزوجها، وبالتالي، لا يعقل أن يغتصبها إذ هو يمارس حقه فحسب.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">بلى إنه موجود؛ الاغتصاب هو جماع قسري. عندما يكون الجماع قسرياً، عندما لا يكون بالتراضي، فهو اغتصاب. والاغتصاب جريمة خطيرة جداً ضد جسم الإنسان وعقله وروحه. لا يهم الإطار الذي يحدث فيه، أكان ضمن الزواج أو العلاقة أو أياً كان العذر. لا يملك أي رجل الحق (إلهياً كان أو دنيوياً) باغتصاب زوجته وأي تفسير ديني يتغاضى عن هذه الفكرة يمحو استقلالية المرأة وسلامتها الجسديتين.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">لا يوجد الاغتصاب الزوجي في فراغ بل هو غالباً ما يظهر في العلاقة التي يشوبها العنف والاستغلال وسوء المعاملة. وتعود جذور الحجج التي تطبّعه إلى المجتمع البطريركي الذي يضع جسم المرأة في خدمة الدولة والأسرة والدين والرأسمالية بشكل متواصل.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;"></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">الحجة: للاغتصاب الزوجي أسبابه؛ إذا رفضت الزوجة العلاقات الجنسية مع زوجها باستمرار أو إذا كانت باردة أو خجولة أو لا تجيد المبادرة إلى ممارسة الجنس أو إذا كانت تستفز زوجها.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">المرأة سيدة نفسها أولاً قبل أن تكون زوجة. التزاماتها الزوجية لا تعني أنه عليها أن تتخلى عن استقلالها الجسدي والجنسي. هي ليست &#8220;مِلك&#8221; زوجها. إذا رفضت أن تفعل أي أمر، لا سيما ممارسة الجنس، فمن حقها الكامل كإنسان أن تقول &#8220;لا&#8221; من دون أن تواجه القوة والاغتصاب. يجب أن تعالَج المشاكل الجنسية لدى الزوجين من خلال التواصل والتفاوض وليس عبر اللجوء إلى القوة أو العنف.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;"></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">الحجة: الاغتصاب الزوجي هو ظاهرة غربية غير موجودة في بلادنا ويحاول هذا المطلب أن يدمّر قيمنا الحضارية.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">برزت المطالبة بمواجهة الاغتصاب الزوجي بعد سنوات من العمل المباشر مع نساء في لبنان، من صميم قصصهن ونزاعاتهن اليومية. الاغتصاب الزوجي موجود في كل الحضارات، من بينها حضارتنا، ولا بد من مواجهته من دون عذر صرف النظر عن مطالبنا باعتبارها غربية، لأنها ليست كذلك. التعامل مع القضايا الحساسة حضارياً يختلف عن الحفاظ على تقاليد أذتنا وقمعتنا لعصور.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;"></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">الحجة: تتولى المحاكم الدينية بالفعل مسألة الاغتصاب الزوجي وهي أفضل مَن يجيد فعل ذلك. هذا الموضوع ليس من شأن قانون العقوبات؛ فالعائلات مقدسة ولكل دين قواعده الخاصة، وبالتالي، على كل أسرة أن تتبع القواعد الدينية الخاصة بها.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">من البديهي أنه إذا كانت النساء في لبنان يرفعن أصواتهن مستغيثات لغياب الحماية، فحتماً هذا يعني أنّ المحاكم الدينية تفشل فشلاً ذريعاً. نحن نرفض النظام الطائفي الذي يقسم بين النساء في لبنان، فيضعف نضالهن الجماعي ويخضعهن إلى إجحاف قوانين الأحوال الشخصية، الذي يطال الطوائف كلها من دون استثناء. العائلات ليست مقدسة والبيوت ليست محظورة. هي بنى اجتماعية تتغير وتتكيف وفق ما يحسّن المجتمع والحضارة. نحن نطالب بقانون موحد يحفظ حقوق المرأة كإنسان بغضّ النظر عن الاختلافات الطائفية. بالاضافة الى ذلك، فإنّ قانون الاغتصاب موجود بأية حالٍ ضمن قانون العقوبات وهناك نريد تعديله بحيث لا يعود يستثني الزوجين.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;"></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">الحجة: تجريم الاغتصاب الزوجي سيفكك الأسرة، فيفقد الآباء الاحترام ويصاب الأولاد بالصدمات.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">الاغتصاب عنف والعنف بحد ذاته يفكك الأسرة. إذا كانت الأم تعيسة ومقموعة فسيتأثر الأولاد بأية حال. لماذا نريد الحفاظ على صورة واحترام أب مسيء إلى زوجته؟ أي نوع من الأطفال ينشأ في جو مماثل بأية حال؟ سيردع القانون الحمائي العنف والاغتصاب ولا يعقل إلاّ أن يصب في مصلحة الأولاد وصحة الأسرة.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">الحجة: ما زال موضوعاً حساساً؛ اذا جعلناه غير شرعي فوراً فلن يعرف المجتمع كيف يتأقلم.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl">&#8220;خلصنا&#8221; مواضيع حساسة. ليس موضوعاً حساساً بالنسبة إلى النساء اللواتي يعانين منه. إنه شأن عام بالنسبة إلينا كمجتمع وحضارة، بالنسبة إلى رجالنا ونسائنا، إنه حق إنساني منطقي وأساسي وإذا كنت تظن أنّ مجتمعنا مثالي جداً بأية حال فلن تمانع وجود قانون الحماية. ما الذي تخشاه؟</h4>

<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">فأي مشرّع أو قاض في لبنان لن &#8220;يتفهّم&#8221; وفقاً للمعايير الاجتماعية والتقليدية والدينية الموجودة، حالة ما سيسمونه &#8220;ثورة الغضب الشديد&#8221; لمن يرى زوجته أو أخته أو احد أصوله وفروعه مع شخص آخر؟</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">وتجدر الإشارة إلى أن جيلبرت زوين ونايلة تويني، اللتين تشكّلان نصف النساء في البرلمان، تغيّبتا عن الجلسة.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">أما في تفاصيل النقاش اللافت الذي دار حول هذا الموضوع، وقبل عملية التصويت التي احتلت   المرحلة الأخيرة من الجلسة، ننقل أدناه آراء النواب المعارضين للاقتراح والآخرين المؤيدين له  كما جاء في محضر الجلسة أمس:<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> النائب سمير الجسر من طرابلس (تيار المستقبل)</span>: من يطلع على الأسباب الموجبة، قدمت عدة اقتراحات وردت في لجنة الإدارة والعدل وهي تبحث في اللجنة التي تبحث <strong>العنف الأسري</strong>، قانون العقوبات له سياق وهذا السياق مثل جريمة القتل، ووجد بالقانون ما يسمى بالعذر، واليوم اخضعوها للعذر المخفف، لافتاً الى انه لا يوافق على تغيير المادة.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"> النائب سامي الجميل من المتن (حزب الكتائب)</span>: 66 جريمة كلها ضد النساء وأعطي مثلا على ذلك ان أخاً يقتل اخته من اجل جريمة الشرف، نحن نعتبر ان هذا القانون يسير مع القرن الواحد والعشرين، وعدم محاولة اقراره يردنا الى القرون الوسطى، وأتمنى أن يتحمل النواب مسؤوليتهم بهذا الخصوص.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> النائب عماد الحوت من بيروت (الجماعة الإسلامية)</span>: هذه المادة لا تنص على جرائم الشرف. المادة 562 تنص على حالة معينة، فهو قتل بغير عمد وليس جريمة شرف، هل أخفف العقوبة على أمور تافهة وأشددها على غيرها.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"> النائب إيلي كيروز من بشري (القوات اللبنانية)</span>: ما يزال قانون العقوبات يميز بين المرأة والرجل، وتلا نص المادة 562 من قانون العقوبات، ورأى ان المادة التي تبرر القتل، تبرر الإيذاء بالمرأة، من هنا الحاجة الى الغائها وتقدمنا باقتراحنا.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"> النائب أنطوان زهرا من البترون (القوات اللبنانية)</span>: هناك<strong> قانون العنف الأسري</strong>، إذا اردنا ان ننتظره وهو المتعلق بالإجحاف بحق المرأة سننتظر طويلا، ونحن نرى ان كل من يرتكب جريمة يعمد الى الأسباب التخفيفية، ونحن لا نرى ضرورة العذر المخفف في مثل هذه الجريمة ونؤيد الإقتراح.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"> النائب مروان حمادة من الشوف (حزب التقدمي الإشتراكي)</span>: استمرار المادة يبقي على التباس كبير، وأنا أطالب بالغائها أي المادة 562.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"> النائب غسان مخيبر من المتن (التيار الوطني الحر)</span>: أيد الإقتراح واعتبر ان هذه الجريمة غير شريفة.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"> النائب ايلي عون من الشوف (حزب التقدمي الإشتراكي)</span>: لم يعد في أكثر البلدان تخلفا مثل هذا النص.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> النائب علي فياض من حاصبيا / مرجعيون (حزب الله)</span>: لا يجوز ان تلغى المادة من أجلها، وأتمنى إحالة الإقتراح الى اللجان.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>ثم طرح الإقتراح على التصويت فصُدّق.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">بالنسبة إلى تعليقنا على هذا التطور، فإننا نرحب حتماً بإلغاء المادة ٥٦٢، على أمل أن يساهم إلغاؤها بالقضاء  على العقلية التي تقبع وراءها.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">وإذ ترى المتفائلات بيننا أن هذه الخطوة قد تكون الأولى في إتجاه تحقيق العدالة القانونية للنساء، غير أن التساؤل حول موضوع <a href="http://www.kafa.org.lb/FOA.aspx?code=1&amp;Dcode=13&amp;title=The%20law%20to%20Protect%20Women%20from%20Family%20Violence" target="_blank">تشريع حماية النساء من العنف الأسري</a> يبقى أمراً مهماً لا يجب إغفاله، خصوصاً إذا ما نظرنا إلى الطريقة التشاؤمية التي تم طرحه بها أمس من قبل بعض النواب.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;" dir="rtl"><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">هذا وتدفعنا هذه التطورات إلى طرح تساؤل آخر، عن ما إذا كانت هذه الخطوة ستُستعمل لإسكات الحركة النسوية ودفعها إلى التنازل عن مطلب إقرار قانون شامل يعالج مسألة العنف الأسري وهي مسألة مرتبطة مباشرةً بمسألة &#8220;الشرف&#8221;؟ وأيضاً، هل يتحتم على النساء في لبنان انتظار هذا القانون عقوداً عدة كما انتظرن خبر إلغاء جريمة ما يُسمّى ب&#8221;الشرف&#8221;؟</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Out of 43 points in the Cabinet Ministerial Statement, only one was concerned with improving the lives of women in Lebanon. That&#8217;s 2.3% of the ministers&#8217; concern. And it ranked 40 / 43. That&#8217;s bottom 10% of their priorities. The point of action, however, reads as a strong commitment and may give us some hope for progress:</p>
<p><em>Our government is committed to strengthening the role of women in  public life in cooperation with concerned women’s organizations based  on international agreements, including eliminating all kinds of  discrimination against women through necessary decrees. It will also  strengthen the role of women in administrative and official  institutions, especially in leadership positions.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-2109" href="http://www.nasawiya.org/web/2011/06/new-lebanese-government-cabinet-formed-with-no-women/mikati/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2109" title="mikati" src="http://www.nasawiya.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/mikati.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="136" /></a>Premier Najib Mikati has announced the formation of a new cabinet (after months of deliberation) of 30 ministers. Check list in <a href="http://beirutobserver.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=56169:mikati&amp;catid=41:2010-10-03-20-24-15" target="_blank">Arabic</a> and <a href="http://www.nowlebanon.com/NewsArticleDetails.aspx?ID=281192" target="_blank">English</a>. The new cabinet has no women ministers. That&#8217;s zero, nil, nothing. The previous cabinet had two women ministers. This one has none.</p>
<p>Needless to say the women&#8217;s movement rejects this total alienation of women from the cabinet and in the Lebanese political arena in general. And yet, it comes as no surprise that our sectarian political system continues to place religious quotas as a priority over the representation and issues of any group in Lebanon. From minority groups to even majority groups, we are still unable to form strong lobbies to demand a share in this country&#8217;s decision-making spheres. Women&#8217;s issues have no representatives and neither do youth issues or social issues in a cabinet of ministries that are supposed to work on specialized sectors that run and govern the country.</p>
<p>In the past women have been used as &#8220;decorative&#8221; elements of Parliament and Cabinet and now, we don&#8217;t even have that. Perhaps it is a good thing to lose anyway. All political engagement in Lebanon remains paralyzed by sectarian feuds and polarized by the March 8 / 14 alliances.</p>

<p>In preparation for the 100th Anniversary of International Women&#8217;s Day (March 8), we are hitting the streets on Saturday, March 5, 2011 and Sunday, March 6, 2011 to talk to women about the challenges they face in Lebanon and what changes they would like to see.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re calling our action: Hello Women, that&#8217;s #HelloWomen for all you tweeps out there.</p>

</ul>
<p>The objective of our action is:</p>
<ol>
<li>For us, as feminists, to listen, grow and learn from what women have to say.</li>
<li>To let the women we meet to express themselves, think about the questions, voice their opinions, concerns, and stories.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Happy International Women&#8217;s Day!</strong></p>
<p>We will post all IWD events in Lebanon on this page and keep it updated. Please support our events by linking to this page from your blog using these awesome graphics below.</p>
<p>On <strong>Saturday, March 5</strong> and <strong>Sunday, March 6</strong>, we will be going down to the streets to ask thousands of women what kind of challenges they face in Lebanon and what changes they would like to see. We <strong>still need volunteers</strong> to help us out so if you&#8217;re interested, please email n.moawad@gmail.com right away! We will be live tweeting, blogging, and posting photos and videos so follow <a href="http://www.twitter.com/nasawiya" target="_blank">@nasawiya</a> and our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/nasawiya" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> to keep up. The locations we will be at are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hamra</li>
<li>Furn el Chebbak</li>
<li>Chiah</li>
<li>Sassine Square</li>
<li>Dawra / Nabaa</li>
<li>Bourj Hammoud</li>
<li>Tareeq el Jdeedi</li>
<li>Haret Hreik</li>
<li>Sabra Camp</li>
<li>Downtown Beirut</li>
<li>Tyre</li>
<li>Saida</li>
<li>Jounieh</li>
<li>Jbeil</li>
<li>Zahle</li>
<li>Tripoli</li>
<li>Saida</li>
</ul>
<p>On <strong>Tuesday, March 8</strong>, between 6 and 8 PM, we will be marching in groups from 4 locations in Beirut to the Ain El Mreisse Corniche to Take Back the Night and reclaim our streets from the harassment women face every day. The 4 starting points are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hamra (Cafe Younes)</li>
<li>Sodeco Square</li>
<li>Raouche (facing the rocks)</li>
<li>Cola roundabout</li>
</ul>
<p>Join any of these points on Tuesday at 6pm and walk with us! Or meet us directly at Ain El Mreisseh at 7pm. Check out the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=197694470260312" target="_blank">event on Facebook</a> for updates and <strong>join us</strong>. Let us be many to make our voices heard! Bring your friends, your mothers, your sisters, everyone.</p>
<p>On <strong>Tuesday, March 8</strong>, at 830 PM, right after the sit-in, we will join the<a href="http://beirut.apartheidweek.org/"> Israeli Apartheid Week</a> at Issam Fares Hall in AUB. IAW and Nasawiya will be collaborating on that night to host a talk on Struggle, Resistance and Women by Leila Khaled and Hana Ibrahim. The talk is entitled <strong>Why We Struggle: Towards a Just Society.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Leila Khaled</strong> will speak on “Towards a Truly Liberated Society”<strong><br />
Hana Ibrahim</strong> will speak on “Iraq: Women on the Front Lines of Anti-Imperial Resistance”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Wednesday, December 22 at 7pm, we are happy to host a talk with <a href="http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/contributors/654" target="_blank">Maya Mikdashi</a>, PhD candidate at Columbia University&#8217;s Department of Anthropology. The presentation, based on her <a href="http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/376/a-legal-guide-to-being-a-lebanese-woman" target="_blank">recently published article</a><a href="http://www.jadaliyya.com/" target="_blank"></a>, will highlight the laws that apply to and are  practiced by Lebanese male and female citizens. A selection of both  civil and personal status law will be discussed, with special attention  drawn to the intersections between these two branches of the Lebanese  legal system. After offering a broad overview of this system, we will  discuss what impact, if any, knowledge of these laws and how they  function may have on activism in Lebanon.</p>
