8:21Now PlayingAn act of defiance that made waves, literally, in Lebanon! In the conservative city of Sidon, dozens of women staged a beachside protest on May 21st, challenging a local ban on swimwear after a woman was reportedly harassed for wearing an 'indecent' bathing suit. Activists, including noted journalist and women's rights activist Diana Moukalled, rallied for the right to public spaces for all women, 'whether in a bikini or a burkini.' The protest, however, wasn't without its critics, as Islamist extremists hurled abuse at the demonstrators. A group of conservative religious men even arrived at the scene to hold prayers, a silent yet potent counter-protest. The incident comes amid Lebanon's worst economic crisis and highlights the tension between societal norms and personal freedoms.
