Tripoli, December 9, 2025 (LANA) – The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) announced that it held consultations with nearly 100 women last month, both inside and outside Libya, including young women, women with disabilities, and women from marginalized regions and groups, as part of its preparations to establish the Libyan Women’s Forum for Structured Dialogue.

The Mission stated that women will constitute at least 35 percent of the dialogue members, as announced by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Hanna Tetteh, to the Security Council last October.

According to the Mission, the Libyan Women’s Forum aims to effectively advocate for and support the shared priorities of the broader Libyan women community. It will enable dialogue members to consult and engage with women outside the structured dialogue, formulate common positions, and access technical support.

During in-person and online consultations, the Mission, in collaboration with UN Women and the UNDP, facilitated the sharing of women’s priorities and recommendations across the four areas of focus for the structured dialogue: governance, the economy, security, and national reconciliation and human rights.

The women emphasized the need to reform laws and implement previous commitments regarding women’s quotas in legislative and executive bodies, as well as in security and economic institutions. They called for prioritizing work on the constitution and integrating human rights considerations into all four areas of the structured dialogue. They also recommended establishing effective mechanisms to ensure the implementation of the dialogue’s recommendations, according to the Mission.

The Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Hanna Tetteh, stated that despite gradual progress, women in Libya still face systemic obstacles that prevent their participation in political institutions and decision-making processes.

She added, “We are committed to ensuring that women’s participation reaches at least 35 percent across all four tracks of the structured dialogue; however, in addition to focusing on numbers, we want to ensure that women’s priorities and recommendations outside the dialogue are brought to the table.”
