Interview with Nadine Moawad Vimeo

In this video, the woman is saying that in her country, Lebanon, this internet access is very limited. Many internet cafés exist but they are monitored by the shop owner and the majority of these shops are not women-friendly. The internet is not regulated by the government like it is in most of the world, but by shop owners; they can decide what websites to block and which ones will be available.

Because of this, many women who cannot afford the internet are being very limited in what they are able to see when they are using these internet cafés. Even if one was able to afford the internet, the connections there are extremely slow. This woman giving the interview believes this because the government does not want a lot of certain people using the internet so the slowness will discourage them from even trying.
