Since 2020 Lebanon has been facing numerous challenges, such as the economic crisis, political instability and regional conflicts, including tensions on the Israeli-Lebanese border. These factors have significantly affected the socioeconomic landscape, exacerbating unemployment, poverty and food insecurity among both Lebanese citizens and refugees residing in the country.
Some 60-70% of Lebanese population is under 35, and at least 50% are women. The marginalization of girls and women and the barriers placed in the way of an active social and professional life in Lebanon are multifaceted. Only 29% of adult women are economically active, which is why it is so important to pay attention to the needs of youth and women who are particularly affected by socioeconomic challenges and lack of opportunities to enter the labor market.
By harnessing the potential of young people, especially women, promoting social cohesion and incorporating environmental sustainability, we want to contribute as an organization to the economic stability and overall well-being of communities in Lebanon.
