Director’s Update: October 2018
Working with youth, the ambassadors of change and gender equality leaders, has always been our main concern. Supporting this, IWSAW hosted a round table discussion with Malayah Harper, The World Young Women’s Christian Association (World YWCA) General Secretary, and inspiring young feminists in Lebanon. The discussion was fruitful as the young women leaders had different views but same vision to empower young women and girls away from society’s stigmas and taboos.
