When tough times prevail, outstanding tenacity arises'. This ancient Arabic proverb highlights the attitude of many Lebanese who suffered the miseries of war, poverty, and displacement. I am referring to a majority of Lebanese women who weredeprived, displaced, widowed, divorced, or who lost one or more of their family members during the war.
