On the occasion of the International Women’s Day on March 8, the National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW) joins the international campaign #BalanceForBetter, reiterating the importance of balance between the roles, duties, and obligations of women and men with the aim of reaching a better community at the social, economic, human, political, and environmental levels.

On this occasion and in collaboration with Miss Lebanon Maya Reaidy, the NCLW has launched an awareness campaign under the slogan Women&Men#BalanceForBetter calling for the rejection of all kinds of discrimination among people, and stressing that true beauty lies within each person and their respect for each other’s differences, rights, abilities, and beliefs.

"The NCLW calls on all women and men to support its campaign by sharing the official photo of the campaign featuring Miss Lebanon, and by taking their own in the official theme posture, and posting them on their social media platforms with the hashtag #BalanceForBetter," reads a statement issued by NCLW.

"The NCLW stresses that building one’s country can only be achieved by the solidarity of its people with no exception whatsoever, and by making use of the potential of both women and men working in harmony and balance. As such, we eradicate exclusions and build our sense of belonging to a unified country where all citizens are equal and share the same rights and obligations, and join hands in a unified endeavor to achieve a healthy and productive community where justice prevails," it added.
