This research project examined the persistent exclusion of women from political decision-making spaces in Lebanon. Despite national and international commitments to gender-inclusive leadership, women remained largely underrepresented in governance structures. The study analyzed structural, societal, and institutional barriers hindering women’s access to leadership, using data collection, media monitoring, and stakeholder engagement to produce evidence-based findings. These insights were intended to inform policy recommendations targeting media institutions, policymakers, and civil society actors.
Following the research phase, a dissemination event and panel discussion were planned to present key findings. The event aimed to engage policymakers, media representatives, civil society organizations, and the public in dialogue around practical strategies to enhance women’s roles in decision-making.
