BEIRUT: The National Commission for Lebanese Women expressed its disappointment Thursday over a ministerial committee’s refusal to amend the current nationality law.
The commission stressed that the Constitution guarantees women married to a foreigner the right to pass her nationality to her children.
A statement issued by the group urged civil society organizations to assist in passing a nationality law that doesn’t discriminate against women.
The commission also requested the implementation of an electoral law that adopts a quota for women and the adoption of a law that protects women from domestic violence.
