Publication Launch Partnership

This publication by author Lina Abou-Habib and co-authors Carla Akil and Marwan Issa tries to reconstitute how activism for women’s rights and gender equality has evolved and how it was shaped by political, social, and economic tensions, threats, and trends.

“Reclaiming and Decolonizing the History of Women’s Rights and Feminist Movements in Lebanon”  seeks to serve multiple purposes. It is a personal endeavor in understanding one’s growth, regeneration, and transformation. It is a contribution to address a historical gap in homegrown writing on women and feminist movements in Lebanon. It is also an attempt to honor women and feminist struggles, past and present, and unpack in many ways how these have influenced and were influenced by changing social and political processes, both heavily determined by patriarchal mindsets.

The book was launched on May 13^th 2024 at the FES offices in Beirut.
