USAID Launches Help Center for Abused Women

USAID/Lebanon Mission Director Denise A. Herbol attended the “Combating Violence Against Women” launching event at the Beirut Bar Association on April 29, 2009. Through a sub-grant, USAID is funding the establishment of a hotline and a help center at the Beirut Bar Association to provide assistance to women who are victims of abuse. Two part-time lawyers will be available at the center to provide free legal advice to victims based on their case. This activity falls within USAID-funded Strengthening the Independence of the Judiciary and Citizen Access to Justice Project implemented by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC).
