Data for change
The Updated Gender Actors Map
We have re-published our Gender Actors Map, with updated data on 75 gender actors, and a new and revised typology. Developed in partnership with Diakonia, it serves as a tool for various stakeholders working on gender issues so as to better understand the gender landscape, tailor their actions and interventions, identify gaps in the sector, as well as opportunities for collaboration.
If you work on gender issues and wish to be listed, please send us an email to contact@lebanon-support.org
Focus on: Daleel Madani Gender Group
The groups on Daleel Madani provide an online collaborative space for discussion, concerted action, and planning of campaigns and collaborations, and aim to bring together civil society actors around specific thematic issues. Explore the Daleel Madani Gender Group now.
The DM Gender Group features updates and posts relevant to gender and women’s rights. Engaging on the DM Gender group increases visibility, and exposes organisations/initiatives to opportunities for cooperation and collaboration between gender actors, ultimately contributing to a reduction in duplicated efforts, notably in the response to humanitarian crises. The group also gives members the opportunity to form and lead collaborative campaigns.

Ahead of the upcoming #16DaysofActivism against Gender-based Violence campaign (November 25- December 10), Lebanon Support has launched a new discussion on the DM Gender Group, around the impact of the Covid19 pandemic on Gender-Based Violence in Lebanon [here]. Indeed, confinement has increased tensions and socio-economic worries, as well as isolation of women, girls, and LGBTIQ people in violent homes, leading to a rise of domestic violence and GBV globally, and particularly in Lebanon
In light of the 16 Days of Activism Gender-Based Violence, how can we, as civil society actors in Lebanon, advocate for policy reforms?
Log in to your DM account and let us know.
In addition, throughout these 16 days of activism, Lebanon Support will be sharing additional content and resources from its Gender Equity Network.
