Brief Explanation

Lebanese gender discriminatory laws reduce women to “half citizens”. The movement started on Facebook. Over 1,000 Lebanese women added mustaches to their profile pictures and changed their gender. The complex discriminatory laws were simplified and posted online. Our Facebook page became a meeting point for NGOs, …and to sign our online petition. Local and regional bloggers joined to help build hype. On March 8th, the movement went from the virtual world to the real one. The event made it to the opening of the 8 o'clock news. Overnight, we received international exposure in all media and over 57 blogs & websites. The Honor Crimes Law was abolished.
