NCLW conducted a study and prepared a draft law on the right of Lebanese women to grant their nationality to their children, a right that is enjoyed by their male counterparts. The draft law was based on a comprehensive study by Judge John Azzi. The study was subject to a peer review by experts: Ziad Baroud, Bahige Tabbara, Lina Abou Habib and members from NCLW legal committee. NCLW called for a meeting of peer experts to discuss the draft law in preparation for the advocacy campaign that it intends to launch to push for the adoption of the draft law in Parliament. On 13/6/2012, NCLW submitted the draft law to amend the Nationality Law to the Secretary General of the Council of Ministers requesting him to forward the draft law to the ministerial committee formed for this purpose. After the rejection by the committee of the draft law, NCLW issued a statement expressing its regret for the failure of the committee to eliminate the discrimination Lebanese women face, as a result of demographic and sectarian considerations, as mentioned by the said committee.
