The Future Today: Youth and Adolescents of the Middle East and North Africa
 Situation Analysis on Adolescents and Youth in MENA by Suad Joseph

In all the MENA countries, those under 29 constitute a minimum of one half and up to two...

Annual Report about our 2016

While women’s issues and rights have been at the forefront of public and civil society debate, academic, and activist publications, women’s inequalities and the discrimination women face in Lebanon have been notably undermined, whether as citizens, refugees, or migrants. However, if the publicising of the “issue of women in Lebanon” has prompted the production of more “gender-related” information and knowledge, it has oftentimes adopted the rhetoric of denunciation and victimisation. Hence, there is a scarcity of in-depth and sectoral studies on the logics of exclusion and discrimination in...
