Stories from the Field

Abstract

The six stories reported by Carole Kerbage and Omar Said are spread across a wide range of experiences from the world of work in Lebanon and shed light on widespread and fundamental problems of gender stereotyping, worker-life balance, gender wage gap, gender based discrimination, and overlapping discriminations based on gender and disability. The stories were originally prepared for a Sub-Regional Initiative of the ILO on Promoting Gender Equality in the World of Work in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.
