The Lebanese Women Democratic Gathering (RDFL), represented by Administrative Committee Secretary Raghida Kaworkian Yshouei, took part in a discussion organized by the Lebanese Association for Democratic Elections (LADE), with the support of the Heinrich B\u00f6ll Foundation \u2013 Middle East Office. The event marked the launch of three studies examining disinformation and the narratives that emerged during the war, their role in shaping public discourse, and their contribution to deepening divisions in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The discussion addressed sectarian narratives and mechanisms of polarization, as well as the media\u2019s responsibility to provide accurate information and verify its sources. It also highlighted the importance of addressing digital violence and smear campaigns, particularly those targeting women, activists, and female journalists.<\/p>\n
