About Us
Both of us, “Woman and Man”, are activists in the midst of social mobility…
In “WO-MAN” Association, although the woman has a balanced presence, the man has an efficient one too!
Both of us, “Woman and Man”, work together to face our problems because we strongly believe that women’s issues in our Lebanese society in particular and in our Eastern societies in general, are not only HERS but also man’s concern.
Based on the above, and inspired by this firm orientation, the name “WO-MAN” was adopted, and we were determined to invite a man to join us in our founding committee, thus gaining the credibility of the name, and in order to have a more effective mobility and better impact, and achieve the goals that we have dedicated ourselves to reach, which fall under the following:
Building team cooperation among the members of the “Association”, through the consolidation of their constructive efforts to serve the community at various levels: educational,
cultural, economic, agricultural, environmental and rural development.
Adopting serious and objective studies, by referring to reliable and documented reports, and making these studies and reports operational in the various fields in which our “Association”, operates.
Organization of training courses, specialized seminars and symposia, covering the various frameworks and objectives that the “Association” seeks to achieve within its scope.
Cooperation and networking with other associations and local institutional frameworks, which intersect with our society: vision, goals and mechanisms of action, making our work more effective and useful, on the basis of mutual benefits.
Strengthening close relations of cooperation with civil associations outside Lebanon (Arab and foreign), enriching our activities and achieving mutual advantage. This matter is gaining importance, in terms of the unity of concerns and issues experienced by humanity, in light of the revolution of comprehensive communication and digital revolution, which
is transforming the globe into a small global village!
While cooperating with men, the “Association” will work relentlessly to confront all forms of discrimination between women and men through various events, highlighting the image of women in all fields, especially in their role in the political equation and other relevant decision-making positions.
we are convinced of the role of the child and the reflection of this role at all age levels. The “Association” organizes various activities aiming to raise awareness about the rights of the child, foremost among which is the obligation to educate up to a reasonable age and to confront child labor. Not to mention ensuring him full psychological and moral support.

جمعية “ WO-MAN“
كِلانا امرأةً ورجلاً في خضم الحراك المجتمعي
جمعية “ WO-MAN“ وإن كان للمرأة فيها حضورٌ وازن، فللرجُل مُتّسع!
فكلانا نعمل سوياً في مواجهة قضايانا والهموم، وذلك من منطلق إيماننا بأن إشكالية المرأة في مجتمعنا اللبناني بخاصة، ومجتمعاتنا الشرقية بعامة، ليست إشكالية نسائية صِرفة، بل هي قضية الرجل أيضاً، وهي، في نهاية المطاف، من تجليات مجتمع مأزوم.
تأسيساً على ما تقدّم، ومن وحي هذا التوجُّه الراسخ لدينا، كانت هذه التسمية التي اعتمدناها جمعية “ WO-MAN“، وحرصنا على أن يكون ثمة رجل في عِداد اللجنة التأسيسية. وبهذا تكتسب التسمية صُدقيتها، ويكونُ حراكٌ أشدُّ فعلاً وأحسنُ أثراً، في سبيل تحقيق الأهداف التي ندبنا أنفسنا لها، وهي تندرج تحت الآتي:
