Focus on Lebanon | Women's Freedom of Movement, & Freedom from Harassment & Violence Topic Brief

The survey also examined general attitudes towards violence against women and whether domestic violence, in particular, is tolerated or rejected by society. These topics were covered in an attempt to understand power relations within the family and within society in how it views women.
