The National Commission for Lebanese Women launched, in partnership with UNICEF, and with the support of the European Union, an awareness campaign entitled “Empowered and Capable Girls : You are a Role Model”, within the joint program being executed by the National Commission, in partnership with UNICEF, and in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, aiming to prevent school dropout of girls and child marriage, especially amid the multiple crises that the country is witnessing.
Among the goals of this program is to raise awareness regarding the impact of crises on meeting the needs of girls for education, as well as on fulfilling other basic health and nutritional needs, along with the protection of girls against all forms of violence, including sexual harassment, gender-based violence and child marriage.
This campaign falls within the scope of activities stipulated in the National Action Plan, in implementation of the Security Council’s Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security, which aims, through its strategic goals, to protect women and girls from gender-based violence, a plan previously adopted by the Government in the autumn of 2019.
