Focus on Lebanon | Women's Freedom of Movement, & Freedom from Harassment & Violence Topic Brief
The SWMENA survey investigated the extent to which women in Lebanon felt they enjoyed freedom of movement without pressures from family or society. The survey also examined general attitudes towards violence against women and whether domestic violence, in particular, is tolerated or rejected by society.
