About Libyan Women's Platform for Peace

Over thirty-five women from different cities and backgrounds launched the Libyan Women’s Platform for Peace (LWPP) in October 2011 to ensure that women are a vital part of post-Gaddafi Libya. Doing so with a particular emphasis on inclusive transitions, women’s rights, youth leadership, advancement and security as related to women’s political and economic participation and constitutional reform. Our experience is far reaching, ranging from constituency building, mobilisation, network facilitation and management, as well as successful advocacy and lobby activities in the fields of women’s political leadership and participation. LWPP seeks to broaden its network across other active CSOs in Libya and the Diaspora, and other community stakeholders such as local councils, religious leaders, individual activists, journalists, and private sector, by creating an active and practical community-based activities that aim to engage collectively all the targeted stakeholders. In the last 10 years, LWPP has reached out to, and built the capacities of more than 100 organisations and 1000 individual activists in Libya and in the Diaspora. Our aim is to form and solidify a critical mass of CSOs, activists mobilised to develop, guide, and influence a constructive upwards, and downward dialogue stream towards peacebuilding, whilst ensuring human rights in Libya. LWPP's mission continues to work towards establishing an inclusive sustainable peace in Libya.
