More than a year has passed since Lebanon submitted its second periodic report to the CEDAW Committee (Convention on the Elimination of all Forms ofDiscrimination Against Women)1 at the United Nations in New York. The National Commission for LebaneseWomen (NCLW)2 was assigned the task of preparing thatreport, and NCLW in turn appointed a committee of its members to monitor the process of this preparation. The report is essentially an overview of the conditions of Lebanese women within the legislative, political, economic, educational, health, social, and cultural sectors. Moreover, it briefly highlights the geographical, political, administrative, institutional, social, and cultural environment of the country.3
