Three women's committees, which were created during the project "For her dignity - protection from violence, health and food for women and girls in Lebanon" of the KROG Institute, together with the partner Developmental Action without Borders - Naba'a, conducted three surveys on different types of violence in Lebanese society.
The first survey addressed cyberbullying. According to Lebanese police, the number of cases of online violence in the country is on the rise, with 80 percent of victims being women and girls.
The topic of the second survey was verbal violence, which, according to the respondents, has become something everyday, something natural in Lebanon, which has been accelerated by the use of social media.
The third survey addressed the challenges women and girls face in terms of employment and economic independence. According to 95.17% of participating women, the economic crisis in Lebanon is the main cause of lack of employment opportunities, followed by educational gaps and discrimination.
