What I have done for Lebanon
Joelle has managed and supervised more than 15 projects on women political empowerment. She has been able, with Women in Front’s team, to increase the number of women candidates to office from 12 female candidates in 2009 to 113 women running for office in 2018. She was able to create a network of more than 500 women, supporting the cause and encouraging more female to engage in public office and political life in Lebanon.
Joelle has also created and presented a socio-political talk show on MTV called“Ento Min”, ahead of Parliamentary Elections in 2018, to highlight female candidates versus their male colleagues.
