Panelists Mrs. Hayat Arslan and Ms. Nadine Moussa, moderated by RCBC RT Rana Salhab Mrs. Hayat Arslan commented on the role of Lebanese women in
politics that she considers marginalized, partly because of social traditions and partly because of an unfavorable legal system and electoral laws that do not give women a balanced role. 
Ms. Nadine Moussa criticized the new law relating to physical abuse of women as “truncated” since it omits the points that were considered primordial by women’s Non Governmental Organizations. The press gave the Panel coverage in Almustakbal, Alnahar, L’Orient le Jour, Daily Star.
