![]() This policy report is part of “Arab Politics beyond the Uprisings: Experiments in an Era of Resurgent Authoritarianism,” a multi-year TCF project supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.While the campaign has made important incremental gains, it has so far been unable to fully overcome the blend of sectarianism and misogyny that defines Lebanese politics.Their campaign has been one of the most carefully planned of its kind. This report chronicles the struggle of Lebanese women’s organizations, beginning nearly two decades ago, to give Lebanese women full citizenship.The law has broken apart families and denied basic services to children who have never known another country.Unlike the country’s men, Lebanese women do not have the right to pass their citizenship to their children or spouses. Since the 1920s, Lebanese women’s citizenship has been incomplete. ![]()
