Abstract:

Plagued by various forms of violence, ranging from a 15-year long civil war to decades of political oligarchy, patriarchy, corruption, political void, foreign military occupation, mass uprisings, and economic crises, to name a few, Lebanon has still not transitioned from a state of conflict to a state of peace almost 30 years after the cessation of war. During Lebanon’s civil war and latest uprising, women emerged as pioneer peacebuilders; yet their role was not documented and socially acclaimed. This report aims to shed light and document the important peacebuilding initiatives undertaken by women during these two monumental periods in Lebanon’s history.

  • The Arab Institute for Women [10]
    The Arab Institute for Women (AiW), previously known as the Institute for Women’s Studies in the Arab World (IWSAW), was established in 1973, building upon the Lebanese American University’s rich history as a school for women. At that time, it was the first such institute in the Arab world and it remains the only one of its kind in Lebanon. It is also among the first globally. The Institute advances women’s empowerment and gender equality nationally, regionally and globally through research, education, development programs, and outreach. AiW works at the intersection of academia and activism.
