Imagine A Lebanon- Without Its Women

Unimaginable right?  Even if you’re not into women, you know  this place would loose its identity without its better other sex.

That’s what the ladies behind the campaign No Rights No Women are threatening to do – turn into men in exchange for their rights!

Controversial. And it seems to be getting everyone’s attention. But the logic behind it is so simple. It’s Genius!!!

Here goes it:

Full Woman, Full Citizen..or no women at all.

“For years, women (and men) in Lebanon have asked, campaigned and fought for women’s rights for complete citizenship. And yet, nothing. Cultural, social, political and even religious excuses have been given, and the only ones to pay the price are the women.

So, we, a group of Lebanese young women, have decided to make a move, non-violent, original yet one we hope that will make the Le…banese community and law makers understand how it feels to be a “half-citizen”.

On March 8, International Women’s Day, we will let go of our “womanship” to request our “citizenship”. We will dress as men, act as them, talk like them, be them… Join us in your universities, offices, in coffee shops, on the streets, in your homes, wearing “men”, acting “men”..because if we don’t have all of our rights, what’s the point?”

And there you have it folks!

Join them on Tuesday March 8th at 5:30 pm in Downtown’s Samir Kassir Square by the Annahar building. Sign the petition that will be  submitted to the Lebanese Parliament on March 9.

Join their Facebook group. Scream it from the rooftops. Sing it loud and proud.

Now Imagine your world without women.

Check out some of  these medieval  facts you prolly didn’t know about the terrifying laws that treat  Lebanese women as second-class citizens in their own country. They just sent some serious chills down my spine.
