On Thursday, Lebanon appointed its first-ever woman ambassador to the United Nations, along with two other female ambassadors to the UNESCO and Jordan, Annahar reported.
The news came as part of new diplomatic appointments announced by the country's Council of Ministers during a Cabinet session held at the Baabda Presidential Palace.
The appointment of the three women ambassadors comes a few weeks after Lebanon's government officials failed to pass a women's quota law.
Without an official quota law, a rise in female representation in parliament cannot be guaranteed and women's role in Lebanese politics will continue to be limited and marginalized.
However, the latest move can be seen as a step forward for women in the country.
Who are the three women ambassadors?
