Violence Against Women In Politics

In this episode of Development Matters we discuss the impediments that stand against women's participation in political life, among which are hate speech and violence. Where do Lebanese women stand today in that regard, how was women's political participation at the 2022 parliamentary elections compared to 2018 and what can be done to increase participation? Listen to our episode on violence against women in politics with gender expert and advisor Abir Chbaro, and Roula Mkhayel, Executive Director at Maharat Foundation.
