In Lebanon, women arrested for prostitution charges can be sentenced up to three years of prison (article 523 penal code).

Our Story

The founders of DoubleX are feminist activists who have been fighting for years sexual exploitation and domestic servitude, and supporting impacted women.

Our work and activism made us realize that women in the prostitution system in Lebanon and in the Arab world, are not treated as a priority.

Therefore, DoubleX was established to bring attention to the sexual exploitation of women in Lebanon and in the Arab region, challenge misconceptions and create new narratives, and advance social and legal solutions.
