As part of its ongoing efforts to end child marriage in Lebanon, the Lebanese Democratic Women\u2019s Gathering (RDFL) organized a roundtable discussion titled: \u201cAccelerating the Legislative Process for the Law to Set a Minimum Age of Marriage and Referring It to the Joint Parliamentary Committees.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>The event was held under the patronage of the Ministry of Social Affairs and brought together decision-makers, representatives of ministries, local and international organizations, and legal experts.<\/p>\n

The meeting aimed to expedite the adoption of the proposed law by referring it to the joint parliamentary committees in preparation for a vote. It concluded with practical recommendations for a strategic parliamentary movement that prioritizes the protection of girls and boys as a national urgency, one that cannot be delayed, and as a binding legal and constitutional duty, in line with international conventions.<\/p>\n
