The fourth edition of the WLCU World Council for Youth (WLCUY) #SHEis campaign has been concluded! Once again, this year we kicked off women\u2019s month with the annual #SHEis campaign focused on highlighting important cultural and social topics affecting Lebanese women today. Due to the phenomenal impact of the campaign\u2019s previous editions, the campaign was able to unfold different topics of importance through informative posts, videos, and live #SHEtalks, interviewing inspiring Lebanese women.<\/p>\n

This year, the campaign was built by a group of amazing women from Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Sweden, and the United States. The campaign highlighted Lebanese females and created awareness on the topic of endometriosis and period poverty in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The campaign was kicked off by highlighting some of Lebanon\u2019s most inspirational women; in history, in sports, in arts, and in politics, such as Fairouz, Nouri Flayhan, and Olympians Mahassen Hala Fattouh and Manon Ouaiss. The week also presented an interesting talk with Sofia Gomez Mansur, a young Lebanese-Argentinian expert on Lebanese female history.<\/p>\n

For International Women\u2019s\u2019 Day, the commission focused on celebrating and honouring the courage and strength of the Lebanese women, but to also acknowledging that there is a long path towards gender equality, and in some parts of the world, longer than others \u2013 Lebanon is one of these. Therefore, the commission highlighted six areas, where as a country, Lebanon is lagging and is in need of action to ensure equal rights for women in Lebanon, such as child marriage, civil law, nationality rights and the kafala system.<\/p>\n

March is also Endometriosis Awareness Month and the #SHEis commission dedicated a week to bringing awareness and education to women all over the world struggling with the pain and symptoms caused by Endometriosis, a reproductive disease with no known cause or cure. Throughout the week they shared resources for those who have, or believe they have, endometriosis, uniting as Lebanese women to bring awareness to Endometriosis and to challenge the cultural taboo surrounding women’s reproductive health.
\nThe week also featured collaborators and SHEtalks with EndoInArabic as well as Carine El Boustani to discuss the struggles and experience of living with endometriosis in Lebanon, as well as the work that needs to be done to ensure women are being believed, heard, and properly treated.<\/p>\n

The last topic was period poverty, which is the lack of access to menstrual products, education, hygiene facilities, waste management, or a combination of these. It affects 3 out of 4 girls in Lebanon. The access to menstrual products is a significant issue as the economic crisis has seen the price of a packet of pads rise from $2 in 2019, to $21 in 2021. The commission collaborated with the young female founder of Jeyetik to spread awareness about period poverty in Lebanon, and relay some of the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that many females face in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Lebanese Mother\u2019s Day, celebrated on March 21st, honouring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. The commission collaborated with the Youth Board to put together a heart-warming video celebrating our mothers.<\/p>\n

Even though the March campaign has concluded, the #SHEis commission will continue to work on initiatives throughout the year to inform, inspire, and educate the Lebanese diaspora on relevant topics related to the Lebanese woman. Follow them on Instagram @wlcuysheis.<\/p>\n

\nLa cuarta edici\u00f3n de la campa\u00f1a #SHEis del Consejo Mundial de la Juventud (WLCUY) ha concluido. Un a\u00f1o m\u00e1s, iniciamos el mes de la mujer con la campa\u00f1a anual #SHEis, centrada en destacar importantes temas culturales y sociales que afectan a las mujeres libanesas en la actualidad. Gracias a la fenomenal repercusi\u00f3n de las ediciones anteriores de la campa\u00f1a, \u00e9sta ha podido desplegar diferentes temas de importancia a trav\u00e9s de posts informativos, v\u00eddeos y #SHEtalks en directo, entrevistando a mujeres libanesas inspiradoras.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Este a\u00f1o, la campa\u00f1a fue construida por un grupo de mujeres incre\u00edbles de Chile, Colombia, Dinamarca, Suecia y Estados Unidos. La campa\u00f1a destac\u00f3 a las mujeres libanesas y cre\u00f3 conciencia sobre el tema de la endometriosis y la pobreza del per\u00edodo en el L\u00edbano.<\/p>\n

La campa\u00f1a se inici\u00f3 destacando a algunas de las mujeres m\u00e1s inspiradoras del L\u00edbano; en diferentes ramas como la historia, el deporte, las artes y la pol\u00edtica, como Fairouz, Nouri Flayhan y las ol\u00edmpicas Mahassen Hala Fattouh y Manon Ouaiss. La semana tambi\u00e9n present\u00f3 una interesante charla con Sof\u00eda G\u00f3mez Mansur, una joven libanesa-argentina experta en la historia femenina libanesa.<\/p>\n

Con motivo del D\u00eda Internacional de la Mujer, la comisi\u00f3n se centr\u00f3 en celebrar y honrar la valent\u00eda y la fuerza de las libanesas, pero tambi\u00e9n en reconocer que el camino hacia la igualdad de g\u00e9nero es largo, y en algunas partes del mundo, m\u00e1s largo que en otras; el L\u00edbano es uno de ellos. Por ello, la comisi\u00f3n destac\u00f3 seis \u00e1reas en las que, como pa\u00eds, el L\u00edbano se est\u00e1 quedando atr\u00e1s y necesita actuar para garantizar la igualdad de derechos de las mujeres en el L\u00edbano, por nombrar algunas podemos hablar sobre el matrimonio infantil, el derecho civil, los derechos de nacionalidad y el sistema de kafala.<\/p>\n

Marzo es tambi\u00e9n el mes de la concienciaci\u00f3n sobre la endometriosis y la comisi\u00f3n #SHEis dedic\u00f3 una semana a concientizar y educar a las mujeres de todo el mundo que luchan contra el dolor y los s\u00edntomas causados por la endometriosis, una enfermedad reproductiva sin causa ni cura conocidas. A lo largo de la semana compartieron recursos para quienes tienen, o creen tener, endometriosis, uni\u00e9ndose como mujeres libanesas para concientizar sobre la Endometriosis y desafiar el tab\u00fa cultural que rodea la salud reproductiva de las mujeres.<\/p>\n

La semana tambi\u00e9n cont\u00f3 con colaboradores y SHEtalks con EndoInArabic, as\u00ed como con Carine El Boustani, para hablar de las luchas y la experiencia de vivir con endometriosis en el L\u00edbano, tambi\u00e9n se habl\u00f3 sobre el trabajo que hay que hacer para garantizar que se crea, se escuche y se trate adecuadamente a las mujeres.<\/p>\n

El \u00faltimo tema fue la pobreza menstrual, que es la falta de acceso a productos menstruales, educaci\u00f3n, instalaciones de higiene, gesti\u00f3n de residuos, o una combinaci\u00f3n de estos. Afecta a 3 de cada 4 ni\u00f1as en el L\u00edbano. El acceso a los productos menstruales es un problema importante, ya que la crisis econ\u00f3mica ha hecho que el precio de un paquete de toallitas femeninas pase de 2 d\u00f3lares en 2019, a 21 d\u00f3lares en 2021. La comisi\u00f3n ha colaborado con la joven fundadora de Jeyetik para concienciar sobre la pobreza menstrual en el L\u00edbano y transmitir algunos de los retos f\u00edsicos, mentales y emocionales a los que se enfrentan muchas mujeres en el pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

El D\u00eda de la Madre libanesa, que se celebra el 21 de marzo, rinde homenaje a la madre de familia, as\u00ed como a la maternidad, los v\u00ednculos maternos y la influencia de las madres en la sociedad. La comisi\u00f3n colabor\u00f3 con el Consejo de la Juventud en la elaboraci\u00f3n de un v\u00eddeo conmovedor que celebra a nuestras madres.<\/p>\n

Aunque la campa\u00f1a de marzo ha concluido, la comisi\u00f3n #SHEis seguir\u00e1 trabajando en iniciativas durante todo el a\u00f1o para informar, inspirar y educar a la di\u00e1spora libanesa sobre temas relevantes relacionados con la mujer libanesa.
