Lebanese displaced women face crisis

Lebanon has been facing a severe humanitarian and security crisis for the past three years due to escalating hostilities and widespread displacement of the population, especially after an increase in bombings and air raids. This has disrupted essential services for women, such as healthcare, education, and protection, further exacerbating their vulnerability—particularly with the displacement of around 620,000 women and girls since March 2026 and the absence of effective protection against the rising cases of exploitation and violence. Women constitute more than half of the displaced population in the country and face difficulties accessing health services and protection, amid worsening legal and social conditions. International and Lebanese efforts are underway to improve the circumstances of women and to strengthen their roles in the armed forces and decision-making processes. The government is also committed to implementing plans to promote gender equality and to achieve security and stability.
