IN CONVERSATION WITH ANASTASIA ELROUSS, 2021

Through her NGO Warch(ée), a Lebanese woman wants to reinvent the future. Can one
woman change the world? Based in Lebanon but setting her sights on the globe,
Anastasia Elrouss is certainly willing to give it a try. In November 2017, the 35-year-old
architect created Warch(ée), a Lebanese NGO that aims to achieve gender equality in the
engineering, architecture and construction fields. “Even in Europe and the United States,”
she says, “equality may be present in the law, but it’s not in the workplace. Women feel
they’re required to act like men, and they even worry about having children.”
