This report is part of a joint project between UN Women and the Lebanese Observatory for Workers and Employees Rights, intended to empower women leadership in unions and syndicates in Lebanon. The project’s objective is to help implementing community interventions and targeted mobilization campaigns aiming at raising awareness on the important role of women leadership and participation in unions decision-making bodies. Therefore, our study delves into the structural inequities and barriers that impede women’s effective participation in decision-making bodies of trade unions in Lebanon, in order to understand how the regulatory framework, combined with the current political and economic stagnation are currently affecting, and to some extent, hindering women’s participation within the Lebanese labor movement and labor unions and syndicates. The data collection was conducted through 10 focus groups discussions (FGD), including 4 in the Union of Teachers in private schools, 3 in the National Social Security Fund workers union, 2 in the union of public hospitals workers in Beirut and South Lebanon and 1 in the American university of Beirut workers union. The 10 FGD were organized between the 22/01/2024 and.01/03/2024 and they gathered contributions from 90 participants, 85 women and 5 men
