Digital violence against women in Lebanon: Legal
and Institutional Context (March 2024)
Digital violence against women is a growing
challenge in light of rapid technological
advancement. This includes digital harassment,
online threats, and privacy violations, with
negative impacts on victims. International efforts
have been made to address this, with some countries
enhancing legal protection and punishment for
perpetrators. Lebanon has enacted laws and adapted
existing ones to address digital violence, but cases
continue to rise, especially affecting underage
girls.
This study examines Lebanon’s response to digital
violence, with a focus on the legal frameworks in
place and recommendations for further measures to
combat this issue and safeguard victims in the
digital sphere. It emphasizes the critical role of
security institutions in protecting victims,
alongside the importance of civil society
organizations in offering legal, social, and
psychological support. This study also aims to raise
awareness about cybersecurity risks and to educate
the public on strategies to prevent
information-related crimes.
This study was authored by Roula Zayat, Executive
Director of ACRLI, with support from the SecDev
Foundation www.secdev-foundation.org and
the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) www.idrc-crdi.ca

Passing of Former Prime
Minister of Lebanon, Dr. Salim El-Hoss
The Arab Center for the Development of the Rule
of Law and Integrity deeply grieves the passing of
Dr. Salim El-Hoss, a valued member of our Board of
Trustees and our first President. The late former
Lebanese Prime Minister was distinguished by his
exemplary service in various public roles,
representing the highest principles of integrity,
respect for the law, justice, equality,
transparency, accountability, and the peaceful
transfer of power. Throughout his career, he
remained committed to avoiding personal benefit,
favoritism, or personal gain at the expense of
public funds or the public interest.
In 2018, the Center honored Dr. El-Hoss as the
"Personality of the Year for the Rule of Law and
Good Governance," recognizing his exceptional
dedication to these principles during his
distinguished career in both the public and private
sectors.
We extend our deepest condolences to all who knew
and worked with Dr. El-Hoss, and we pray for his
eternal peace.
