Libya: Females

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how his Department plans to support the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in Libya.
Answer

The Government are committed to its obligations under UNSCR 1325. We recognise the role played by Libyan women in supporting the revolution, and their participation and leadership within civil society more broadly. The UK is engaging with women across Libyan society to determine how best to provide support. We are also working closely with the EU to assess what support the international community can provide on this issue.
