Report Launching by Admin Admin: Women’s group calls for domestic violence law

BEIRUT: A women’s association urged officials Friday to pass a domestic violence draft law after a woman was allegedly poisoned to death by her husband, the latest in a string of domestic violence murders targeting women in Lebanon in recent weeks. “We join calls by all organizations for passing the domestic violence draft law as quickly as possible. We appeal to the conscience of all responsible officials to meet this demand out of our eagerness to protect women and all Lebanese families,” said Mona Khauli, the general secretary of the YWCA of Lebanon.
