This Gender Manual is a practical guide for civil society organisations in Lebanon that wish to enhance gender equity in their practices and policies. Far from being exhaustive, this manual contains practical guidelines that can help to both gain a better understanding of gender-sensitive topics, as well as to integrate and implement them in internal processes, action plans, and organisational structures and policies. It is informed by the findings of a series of meetings and consultations with various stakeholders engaged in gender issues. It is worth noting, however, that the guidelines...
This report aims to explore the fragmented organisation of healthcare services in Lebanon, for Syrian refugees. Although it is not an assessment of the Lebanese healthcare system, this report does nevertheless reflect on the challenges and underlying dynamics of the current Lebanese system, which are reproduced in the healthcare provision for Syrian refugees. In this sense, the report highlights the privatised, rather ad hoc, and irregular provision of healthcare in Lebanon, notably for Syrian refugees, which tends to take on a more curative rather than preventive approach, resulting in...
Since the uprising in Syria in March 2011, over 4.3 million Syrians have fled to neighboring countries. Over a million have sought refuge in Lebanon, constituting almost a quarter of the Lebanese population and becoming the largest refugee population per capita in the world.
With inequitable health coverage being a longstanding problem in Lebanon, Syrian refugee women’s health, and specifically their sexual and reproductive health, is disproportionately affected. An increase in gender-based violence and early marriage, a lack of access to emergency obstetric care, limited access to...

This report aims to present a general overview of the current local gender actors and their interventions in Lebanon. It also aims to shed light on the complex relationship between women’s organisations in Lebanon and their donors. In this context, it is important to ask to what extent the funding tends to shape project design at a local level? And moreover, does funding of short-term and service-oriented projects edulcorate the political change that these organisations could bring?
Based on a survey done by Lebanon Support during 2015, it gives an overview of the main gender actors, their...
This cross sectional survey was conducted among Syrian refugees living in Lebanon, to monitor access to and utilization of key health services. Refugees in Lebanon are predominantly living in urban areas and informal settlements and there are no refugee camps.
يوجد في لبنان 21 سجنا وأربعة من هذه السجون مخصصة للنساء. و هناك سجنان اضافيان للأحداث. انّ الكشف النفسي و الرعاية الصحية النفسية غائبان في السجون اللبنانية.
نأمل أن التوصيات الصادرة في هذه الدراسة تصبح واقعا كما أنها ستغير حياة العديد من الأشخاص المنسية خلف القضبان وستمنع "حكم بالسجن مدى الحياة" مماثل في المستقبل للسجناء.
Lebanon has a total of 212 prisons, out of which 4 are specific to women. And there are 2 additional prisons dedicated to minors. Mental health screening and care is absent in Lebanese prisons.
Catharsis hopes the recommendations from this study become a reality as they will change the live of many forgotten person behind bars, some of whom have been in prison for over 35 years, and it will prevent a similar “life sentence” fate for future mentally ill inmates.
