Naam Lil Hiwar
Naam Lil Hiwar continues this season, with renewed support from CCFD (Comité Ca-
tholique Contre la faim et pour le Developpement), and is still providing the same
spontaneous and open space for young professionals, students, activists and every citizen to lay down
their ideas and outlooks on the state of public affairs; we believe that Naam lil Hiwar is a
strong contributor to the promotion of critical thinking amongst the Lebanese youth.
During the past three months, Naam Lil Hiwar has covered 5 hot topics; “feminism and
religion”, a subject on which the audience had a lot to say, to the extent that a follow up
session was organized. “Abortion”, “capital punishment in Lebanon”, “the prerogatives of
the Lebanese president” and finally “open unsolved cases” were other topics that Naam
Lil Hiwar opened for discussion. Guest speakers included Samahat al Sayyed Jaafar Fadlal-
Picture of a Dia- lah, Pere Issam Jerdaa, Lawyer Nizar Saghieh, Dr Zou El Fikar Hashash, MP Ghassan Mkhiber, women

“feminism and
religion” quarterly professional/academic session where recommendations recorded in the public sessions will
be discussed and analyzed, thus, a report that summarizes these outcomes will be issued in the form of
a policy paper. To know more about
