Education: Smart, Skilled, and Leading
Lebanese women are outperforming men in education. In fact, women now make up the majority of university students in Lebanon. They excel in fields like medicine, law, journalism, architecture, and business. But despite the impressive academic stats, the job market doesn't always reflect that same progress. Many women struggle to find leadership positions or fair-paying jobs in male-dominated sectors.

Here are just a few names representing this powerful movement:
• Yasmina Zaytoun – Miss Lebanon 2022, advocating for education and women's self-worth.
• Paula Yacoubian – Journalist-turned-parliamentarian who shattered political norms.
• Nayla Tabbara – Thought leader and interfaith activist pushing boundaries on gender and religion.
• And every mother, teacher, sister, student who builds change quietly, every day.
