Williams tweeted after meeting a group of women activists that UN supported effective participation of Libyan women in political life.

 Tripoli, 1 February, 2022 (Lana) - The Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General on Libya, Stephanie Williams, described a meeting she held on Monday with a group that included representatives of women’s and youth groups, trade unions and activists in peacebuilding and elections, as a wonderful meeting, during which we discussed a wide range of issues of interest to Libyan women, especially the need to increase their participation in political life.

Williams added in a series of tweets posted, Tuesday via Twitter, that during the meeting, the many challenges still facing Libyan women were identified, including hate speech and threats against activists and women leaders.

During this meeting, the "UN envoy" said, all of them stressed the importance of holding elections as soon as possible and turning the page on the prolonged transitional period in Libya through the ballot box. I also briefed them on my engagements with national and international actors to advance the political process in Libya, and I renewed my commitment to support the effective participation of women in Libya's political life, especially in the electoral process.
