DESMEEM Talk: Design & Gender

With Giulia Bazoli, Elena Habr, and Yasmina Boustani

Probably one of the biggest taboos, those who do not conform to Lebanon’s socially accepted sexual orientation are not provided the same rights as other humans. Respect and understanding is scare, and those who can help are few or hard to reach. Design can help breach those gaps and create links for a healthy community, free of prejudice, ignorance and disrespect.

This is one of the talks for Beirut Design Week 2012. The talks are all dedicated to the role of design in social and environmental context.
