During the war between Hezbollah and Israel that started on July 12, 2006, lasting for 34 days then ended on August 14, 2006, we reported our own views and analysis. Nowadays, we continue to report the post-war effects on the Lebanese here and abroad. Stay tuned.

International Women`s Day - Art Lounge March 10

Thanks to MFL I knew about this event. I like the combination of Art, discussion and chilling to music.

I believe that even though the status of the Lebanese woman has gone a long shot for the past years in Lebanon and on several basis, such as politics, high position at work, salaries, etc... Nevertheless I still think that there are still some stuff that need to be accomplished. It is still a patririarchal society, and not just in Lebanon, even in countries such as the U.S.

On that note, I need to specify that I am no feminist, but I am definitely pro-rights, human rights, prisoner rights, women rights, and children rights. More over, I don't think men and women are absolutely equal, orelse, we wouldn't have two genders. However I believe that a job should not be given to someone because she is a woman, or he is a man, but for their qualifications and personalities. Equal opportunities is the key and to never judge a person's position or job based on gender, but for how competant they are.

in lebanon, for the jobs qualifications inside the public institutions, we should start to stop thinking through confessions even before thinking about genders :s
that would be a huge progress to begin with

I always thought about this one, I actually wouldn't have minded to joig the military service (however 1 year was a lot, for both men and women), and unfortunately I think it's not being practiced right.
