A Photo Exhibition Is Part Of A Series Of Activities To Combat Domestic Violence in Lebanon

Good Idea:

The project Behind the Doors is part of the 16 Days Campaign of Activism against Gender Violence, which includes initiatives such as launching a petition to support passing the draft law [to protect domestic workers] and holding an exhibition outside the Parliament building to commemorate women who died from domestic abuse.

Witness the shock value of the exhibition

The pictures displayed at the exhibition underlined the tools used by abusers, such as an axe or a leather belt. One photograph showed a shower and the writing text next to it read, “I married him … He surprised us by asking our opinion on which tool of torture he should use; you can pick the hose, the stick, the axe, the rope, the cross, the knife etc. After which he would make up his mind.”
