Relaunch Ceremony: Who Is She Online Database

LAU Beirut campus. Riyad Nassar Library, ground floor

Within the framework of the Women in Leadership project, the Arab Institute for Women (AiW), the United Nations Development Programme, and UN Women, in partnership with the Government of Canada, are pleased to invite you to the relaunch of the Who Is She online database.

First launched in 2008 through a bilateral partnership with KVINFO—the Danish Centre for Information on Women and Gender, an independent institution under the Ministry of Culture in Denmark—the database highlights profiles of prominent contemporary Lebanese women.

In 2024, the platform was updated under the Women in Leadership project, implemented by AiW in collaboration with UNDP and UN Women, with the generous support of the Government of Canada.
