"الله يسامحن قد ما عم بيعذبونا...

In the past week, we met on several occasions as feminists, to discuss our role in the current series of protests in Lebanon.  We started joining the protests since Saturday 22^nd of August as individuals, like many other people. We joined the crowded streets of Beirut, melting with the wider demands for basic rights, just female bodies in the streets.

Today is the 56th day of the ongoing protest of more than 25 Sudanese refugees, mostly mothers and their children, at the UNHCR office doors in Beirut. The amount of hate and racism they witness and encounter, by their words, is intolerable to any human.
