Women rights in Lebanon Introduction Lebanon is a leading country in the Middle East with diverse religions comprising of mainly Muslims and Christians. The personal status laws applicable in Lebanon are a significant source of discrimination against women (Salameh, 2013). As such, this has deprived women of their basic fundamental rights. Lebanon was among the first countries in the Arab region to provide equal rights for women to participate in politics. Lebanon ratified the “Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women” to ensure that all human rights for women are guaranteed. However, all 15 religious-based personal status laws do not address issues that lead to women discrimination (El-Helou, 2015). In particular, the personal status laws do not discuss divorce, rights to hold properties, and custody of children.

This paper discusses the legal framework, gender inequality, and personal status laws that discriminate against women’s rights and…
