When Lebanon was plunged into the 6th revolution in its history. An Nahar, the nation’s leading paper looked to empower women to lead the revolution, and avoid the violence that marked previous protests.
We spotted a glaring injustice in Lebanon – the absence of women in the Lebanese National Anthem, and took the bold move of fixing it. In a phrase in the anthem that previously only referred to Lebanon as "the birthplace of men," we added "the birthplace of WOMEN AND men."
We printed the anthem and displayed it on the Newspaper’s office building, strategically located at the heart of the protests, to act as a catalyst for women to lead the revolution.
