Project

This project aims to enhance the knowledge of young Lebanese from all regions on the functioning of the political structure of their country in order to help them become active citizens, aware of their rights and duties, more willing to vote and to be engaged in the change process. It aims to raise awareness on the importance of women's participation in politics and decision-making positions, reinforces the belief among youth that elections play a vital role in a system of representative democracy, that voting gives you the power to speak out about how you feel the country is being run and that every single vote counts and raises awareness on gender equality in the political sphere.
