not-so-sweet 16...


A campaign to defend the rights of women - and of course I do not mean their stupid right to wear jewellry! This time it has to do with "clause 16" and specifically the withdrawal of the restrictions on it. It might all sound like legal mumbo jumbo and to be honest I have no clue what this clause 16 says but knowing how the whole law in Lebanon is demeaning and biased against women, I am sure it is something completely illogical.
Now for the creative bit... I like the fact thay they emphasized on the 16 bit. Instead of "weather conditions" it's "personal conditions" with the first saying "16 beneath the floor" instead of "16 beneath zero" and for the second "Oslo" and "Toronto" are both "sunny" with high temperatures' and Lebanon is again at "16 beneath zero"...
Now, forgive me, I have so googling to do about clause 16 in the personal law in Lebanon....
