Lebanon’s rich history is full of trying times and powerful movements that have shaken the Middle East and the world. Lebanon experienced a civil war starting in 1975, which led to the spatial segregation of the capitol city Beirut. This way of life still persists in Beirut, Lebanon today, and affects generation after generation by placing the youth in a social structure of seclusion and tension. Recently though, the youth of Beirut have openly fought against the current status quo, protesting economic hardships and infrastructural ruin brought on by government mismanagement, as well as acting as agents in breaking through the current stigma associated with sect and religious mixing. Using interviews, secondary literature, primary data, and historical sources on the effects of the religious divisions in Beirut, this paper will show how the current segregation of the city came to be and how it is passed on intergenerationally, as well as how the youth of Beirut are fighting for a more egalitarian society through school elections, inter religious marriages, and expanding educational and economic opportunities. To show the determination of the youth, I conducted interviews with a young woman who is native to Beirut, Lebanon, as well as researching recent events of youth protests of the August 4th explosion, the economic crises, and Covid-19 medical supply shortages. In doing so I hope to shed light on the sectarian social structure of Beirut and the ways in which the youth are causing changes to this age-old system.
