Lebanon - women entrepreneurs, workers and small business owners
Lebanon, 2015.
Amira Abi Khalil operates a forklift to move palettes of tile. She has owned and operated her brick and stone trading company for eighteen years since 1997. Lebanon emerged from a 15-year civil war in 1990, beginning its slow but steady recovery.
