A push for stricter rules for girls and women from the government in Tripoli has sparked an outcry among women, rights organizations and activists. Libya's administration in Tripoli is stepping up efforts to fend off European influence and protect Islamic social values, with a new "morality police" set to start operating in December. These words have sparked outcry among Libya's overly young population, and the country's women in particular. Libya's National Human Rights Committee has already filed a legal complaint against Al-Trabelsi with the attorney general. However, due to Libya's political division, these new restrictions won't be applied throughout the country.
