Women at the Heart of Cultural Heritage: Protecting Traditions, Shaping the Future

On International Women’s Day, ICOMOS Lebanon recognizes the vital contribution of women to the safeguarding, interpretation, and transmission of cultural heritage.

Across tangible and intangible domains — from traditional crafts, community memory, and ritual knowledge to professional practice in conservation and heritage management — women are central actors whose expertise sustains cultural continuity.

This day reminds us that equitable participation, recognition, and leadership are essential for heritage that is representative, resilient, and relevant. ICOMOS Lebanon reaffirms its commitment to gender equity in heritage governance and celebrates the women who shape the past and future of our cultural heritage.
