Lebanon: Gender and Inclusion Brief

This brief examines the compound impacts of Lebanon’s ongoing crises—including economic collapse, conflict, and displacement—on gender equality and social inclusion, with a specific focus on children, women, and marginalized groups. Highlighting Lebanon’s low standing in the Global Gender Gap Report 2025, the document details persistent barriers such as discriminatory personal status laws, restricted economic participation, rising rates of child marriage, and acute exclusion of persons with disabilities. In response, Save the Children outlines a dual-track strategy centered on internal organizational accountability through Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) self-assessments, alongside external gender-transformative programming, local partnerships, and targeted advocacy.
