‘Nes Bsamneh w Nes Bzeit ‘ Street Performance by Zoukak

Join Zoukak Street Performance of “L Nes Bsamneh w Nes Bzeit” in front of the National Museum, Beirut.

Zoukak’s “L Nes Bsamneh w Nes Bzeit” street performance will launch the march against gender-based violence organized by KAFA on Saturday, March 8, 2014 from the National Museum to the Palace of Justice in Beirut.

“L Nes Bsamneh w Nes Bzeit” (“some people are coated in ghee and others in oil”, a Lebanese saying that denounces social discrimination) by Zoukak, is based on work by the KAFA Violence & Exploitation organization documenting testimonies of victims of domestic violence.

The march aims to pressure parliament into legislating a law protecting women against domestic violence, prompted by several recent incidents that led to the death of a number of married women.
