Equal rights for Women?
Aug 23, 2007
Libyan women enjoy more legal protections than women in many other Arab countries, and Libyan girls enjoy greater access to public education.
The law prohibits discrimination based on sex and grants equal rights to women.
However, women still face many social and legal hurdles to equality, particularly in areas such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance.
