Leba**n passes law against domestic violence
Leba**n's parliament on Tuesday passed a law making domestic violence a criminal offence, after a years-long campaign by civil society groups in a sectarian Arab country steeped in conservativism. Large sectors of Lebanese society have traditionally regarded beatings of women and children as religiously and socially acceptable. New York-based Human Rights Watch described the bill as "historic," but pointed to gaps which did **t ensure full protection for women. For its part, leading Lebanese women's rights organisation Kafa was critical of the law in its current form.
