A Lebanese series that won the admiration of audiences (A’Amal) presented a strong message on the issues of violence against women and honor crimes, prompting activists and officials to take serious steps to combat this violence.
- The Lebanese association “KAFA”, in cooperation with MP Paula Yacoubian and other MPs, adopted a legal initiative to combat violence against women.
The association’s adoption of this step came in response to the audience’s interaction with the themes of the series, which dealt with real stories of violence against women in the absence of deterrent legislation.
كتف ع الكتف لنوصل ع الهدف!
مجتمع خال من العادات والتقاليد الاجتماعية البالية،
مجتمع بيحترم وبيقدر الكفاءة بغض النظر عن الجندر،
مجتمع يعطي المرأة حقها بتكافؤ الفرص،
مجتمع يدافع عن الحق حتى لو لم يكن معنيا او مستفيدا مباشرة من هذا الحق…
تحية للنسر يللي طاير بجناحيه
وللفريق كلو… https://t.co/Vz6zbRis3e— بولا يعقوبيان (@PaulaYacoubian) April 6, 2024
Written by Nadine Jaber and produced by “Eagle Films”, the series stars Maggie Bou Ghosn, a media actor, who has been subjected to violence and attempted murder under the name of “honor killing”.
