Excellency:

I am writing in solidarity with women's groups in Lebanon to express my support for women's right to nationality.  Women's equal citizenship rights are protected by the Lebanese Constitution and by international law, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. Yet women in Lebanon cannot confer their nationality to non-national spouses or to their children.
