This study investigated the relationship between moments of heightened national crisis and sectarianism and the possibilities for feminist and LGBTQ interventions into public discourse in Lebanon. It focused on the national crisis surrounding the You Stink Protests of 2015. These protests were concerned with the garbage crisis, government corruption, the centralization of services, and new parliamentary elections. They called for alternative solutions and management and committed to exposing the corruption of the government. The research entailed interviews and participant observations with feminist activists who participated in the 2015 You Stink protests including broad political coalitions that formed during this period such as Al Sha’b Yurid [The People Want] as well as the feminist coalition, The Feminist Bloc.
