The Lebanese Women Democratic Gathering (RDFL), in partnership with Diakonia, is conducting dialogue sessions with local community actors on the issue of child marriage. Participants include mukhtars, doctors, engineers, lawyers, political activists, sheikhs, municipal members, social influencers, professionals working in the social and education sectors, and taxi drivers.<\/p>\n

These sessions provide spaces for dialogue among actors from diverse sectors and backgrounds to discuss the issue, exchange perspectives on ways to address it, and develop practical recommendations and proposals that can inform the advocacy process. They also aim to broaden community and institutional support for setting the minimum age of marriage at 18 and advancing the adoption of a law that protects girls and boys from child marriage.<\/p>\n
