A one-day public art event used a live graffiti performance (by Eli Zaarour, visual and graffiti artist) to blazon a
call for women’s rights. “Together
for Women’s Access to Justice“, which took place on November 2 in Bourj Hammoud,
featured the creation of a mural lionizing
women’s legal empowerment for the residents of Nabaa. Attendees
were invited to participate by drawing and writing “their visions, their beliefs, and their own
perceptions of women’s rights.”
Organized
by “Justice Without Frontiers” and “I Leaf
Art“, an arts community that turns neglected public spaces into
magical, colorful ones, the art day forms part of a campaign advocating for greater legal
coverage for women. Co-sponsored by Oxfam and funded by Sida, the
initiative provides
free legal advice and counseling to both women victims of violence and
those enmeshed in legal conflicts. It also aims to increase legal literacy among women while
building partnerships with local communityleaders, religious and political parties, and NGOs so
that within this framework, new strategies to guarantee women’s achievement of justice can
be realized.
