Taking legal steps against online
gender-based violence:
● I report to the Internal Security Forces or the Public Prosecution Office about attempts of blackmailing or
instances of cyberbullying that I am exposed to when they occur without hinting to the blackmailer that I
want to inform the competent authorities, the hotline number for the Balegh service 01293293
● I can go directly to the Cyber Crimes Bureau located in the Furn El Chebbak area to open an immediate
report on the incident and take a quick preventive measure
● I can file a complaint with the Public Prosecution Office of Appeal in the areas where the crime occurred
against a person identified by his name if he is known or against an unknown person if I do not know the
identity of the aggressor, to be referred to the Cyber Crimes Bureau.
● The Public Prosecution Offices of Appeal are located in the judicial offices and are distributed in the
regions as follows:
--- Bekaa (public prosecution in Zahle)
--- Nabatieh
--- Beirut
--- Mount Lebanon (public prosecution in Baabda)
--- South Lebanon (public prosecutor in Sidon)
