Collective Action
Vigil highlights reach of gender-based violence
The murder of Rebecca Dykes this month turned a spotlight on to male violence against women in Lebanon, with activists noting that the crime was not an isolated incident in the country where gender-based violence is widely underreported. “This could happen to any woman, it could be me, it could be you. I’m extremely upset about everything that has happened,” Sahar Chalak told The Daily on the evening during a vigil held at Beirut’s National Museum for four recent victims of femicide that included Dykes.
