I am a lebanese citizen,

I believe that all women and men "are born and remain free and equal in rights",

I believe that my country should give equal civil and political rights to all,

I am for the lebanese State's neutrality toward religion: neutrality means making no difference

between a religion and another, and no difference between religion and non-religion,

I am against the interference of religion in the functionning of the lebanese State,

just as I am against the interference of the State in the citizen's religion,

I believe in democracy, in freedom of speech and opinions.

Many of us want a lebanese civil status unrelated to religion. Yet we are completely ignored by the lebanese government.

1- A lebanese Laïque Pride where we unite and march together for secularism will give faces and numbers to this demand. We will show how many we are, who we are, we will prove de facto that we- lebanese for secularism- exist, and our rights can no longer be denied.

2- The Laïque Pride will also create a dynamic movement that gives support to existing secular movements and organisations that are working on concrete measures to try to apply secularism in Lebanon (in various fields such as education, civil laws, politics...).

3- The Laïque Pride will also help bring together all existing organizations and associations that are concerned by the protection of human rights. It is an opportunity for all of us to meet and think, debate, coordinate and work together on building a more equal lebanese society.

A4 Project : a Call for Participation

The lebanese Laïque Pride is launching a call for all lebanese, from all backgrounds and all ages, to participate in promoting and/ or informing about secularism in Lebanon !

You can use: Text writing, Caricature, llustration, Comics, Photography, or any other printable form that only your imagination can limit...

A selection of all the proposed material will be printed and distributed all across Lebanon as part of the Laïque Pride's campain of promoting and informing about secularism.

1- Format.

The works will mostly be printed on A4 paper format. So we recommend that you take that into consideration while chosing the size of your work.

Some works could be printed in bigger sizes for Poster Use, and some in smaller sizes for Flyier use, always proportionate to the A4 paper size.

2- Color.

All the works will be printed in black & white only. So we recommend you work with black, white and gray scales.

3- Size.

Digital Images should be of at least 300dpi resolution when scaled to an A4 size. The higher resolution the better!

Please come back and check the site regularily, and subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed of the latest updates.
