Hariri Calls for Reforming Laws to Protect Women in Lebanon
Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri stressed Friday “the need to accelerate the trials of the perpetrators of violence and crimes against women in Lebanon” and to “toughen the verdicts.”
He said on Twitter on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women: “We must enforce and reform laws to protect women from this blatant violation of human rights.”
“Together, men and women, we must improve the condition of women in our country,” he added.
