UN Women has applauded Libya’s High National Elections Commission (HNEC) for its initiatives aimed at increasing women’s involvement in the country’s electoral process.

Florence Basti, the UN Women representative for Libya and Tunisia, praised the commission during a meeting in Tripoli with board member Rabab Halab on Tuesday.

Discussions centred on awareness campaigns planned for 2025 and initiatives already implemented in 2024 to support women’s electoral engagement.

Basti highlighted the commission’s efforts to ensure greater participation by women and provide the necessary conditions to facilitate their access to polling stations.
