The United Nations has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening women’s leadership in Libya, emphasizing the need for greater female representation in decision-making positions.

UN Special Representative Hanna Tetteh met with Libya’s Minister of State for Women’s Affairs, Houria Al-Tarmal, to discuss strategies for promoting gender equality and empowering women across political, economic, and social sectors.

The meeting focused on enhancing policies and programs that support women’s participation in governance, civil society, and economic development. Both sides acknowledged that women’s inclusion in leadership is essential for Libya’s long-term stability and progress.

Discussions also covered mechanisms to ensure equal opportunities and gender equity in leadership roles, removing systemic barriers that limit women’s access to positions of influence.

Tetteh emphasized that the UN remains committed to supporting Libya in achieving meaningful progress in gender representation. She stressed that women’s empowerment is a matter of equality and a crucial factor for national stability, economic growth, and sustainable governance.

Libyan women have historically faced significant challenges in political and leadership roles, despite their active contributions to society. Since the 2011 uprising, women have played a crucial role in civil society, advocacy, and peacebuilding efforts, yet their representation in formal leadership positions remains limited.

Despite legal frameworks supporting gender inclusion, women continue to struggle with political marginalization, social constraints, and institutional resistance. Political instability, security concerns, and the dominance of male-led institutions have hindered progress in women’s leadership roles.

International organizations, including the UN, have repeatedly emphasized that inclusion of women in governance leads to more effective policymaking, stronger institutions, and long-term national stability.
