“The NYOU Parliament” is a project developed and managed by fiftyfifty and supported by the Kingdom of the Netherlands’ Embassy in Beirut. The program aims at creating a non-sectarian female political environment and increasing female representation in the Lebanese parliament through the following main actions:

• Create a female platform that will encourage and support more women to run for office in the next national elections
• Raise awareness on the benefits of engaging women in politics
• Increase visibility of participants in their communities and political sphere
• Build a new parliament with gender equality by instating a gender quota of 33% at least.
