LIBYA:
Integrating Libyan Women into the Democratic Process
At the request of numerous women of the community, the local council of the Sabri District in Benghazi invited the Institute to conduct an Election and Constitution Awareness Raising town hall campaign. Twenty women participated in the campaign. The event featured a comprehensive explanation of the upcoming election process and a broad overview of the elected National Congress, the legislative body responsible for appointing the committee to draft Libya’s constitution and for setting in place a transitional government until a constitutional referendum occurs.
The women in attendance actively voiced their expectations for transparency and good governance among elected officials.
