Historique

The situation of women in Libya remains challenging. The active contribution of women in the 2011 uprising was widely recognized by Libyan society at large, providing Libyan women with opportunities to participate in key institutions. Although women represent almost 15% of the parliament, their voice is weak and fragmented. The unit to support and empower women created by the Presidency Council, in 2016, is still largely existent on paper alone.

Women’s rights in Libya face major challenges that threaten previous progress and limit the improvement of women’s status. The role of women in society has faced setbacks in the face of the rise of armed Salafist and other conservative groups and in the face of the general security environment which when mixed with conservative societal norms can lead to severe restrictions on women’s movement and the ability of women to participate in public fora.

Recent discussions held by UNDP Libya with a wider range of Libyan women activists from different parts of Libya indicated that there is a determination on the part of Libyan women to form part of the future of their country and to be involved in decision making processes at all levels. Further, a recent study funded by the British embassy and the UNDP Libya review of its gender profile in Libya revealed that there is a need to develop local peacebuilding and mediations skills, to raise awareness on legal and political rights, to mentor and nurture business skills, and to systematically respond to GBV. This can form the basis for a discussion amongst actors for future programming and for adapting existing programming with a view to addressing some of the challenges faced by Libyan women.

The main objective of this the gender and women empowerment programme is to address gender equality and women’s empowerment in Libya through encouraging mechanisms for improved coordination on gender mainstreaming across UN agencies, and ensuring that all UN agencies including UNDP fulfil their obligations to gender mainstreaming.

UNDP has developed a Gender Strategy 2018-2020 to strengthen the integration of gender equality into UNDP’s work through a two-pronged approach (I) mainstreaming gender in all programme; and, (ii) dedicated interventions that empower women and promote gender equality.
