The Lebanese Council for Women (LCW) is a nongovernmental organization (NGO) initiated in the 1920s and instituted in 1952 under Lebanese authorization license number 3753 – 6/11/1953
The purpose of LCW was not to be just another NGO. Its role was to provide direction and vision to the activities of its member organizations by coordinating their efforts and mobilizing their potential towards the common goal of serving women's rights.
Since its inception LCW has stood for two constant basic believes
- A unified, sovereign, and independent Lebanon
- A Lebanon where all citizens -men and women- have equal rights and opportunities
LCW is today an umbrella organization that groups about 170 NGOs spread geographically over the six Lebanese districts; Beirut, Bekaa, Nabatyeh, Mount Lebanon, North Lebanon, and South Lebanon. LCW's thousands of members embody Lebanon 's religious, sectarian, and ethnic diversity.
