TRIPOLI – 8 March – The pressing need for action and investment to empower women and drive forward progress in Libya cannot be overstated. UNSMIL stands in solidarity with women in Libya recognizing their resilience and unwavering contributions to society. Libyan women play a crucial role in shaping and advancing Libya's political and economic landscape, and their meaningful engagement in political, economic and reconciliation processes brings advantages to the entire society. Investing in women today is an investment in the future prosperity and progress of Libya. All these challenges would be better addressed by unified and legitimate institutions, which fully represent the will and aspirations of Libyan women and men.
