Hintergrund |
Libya continues to face a multi-layered crisis marked by protracted conflict, political and administrative fragmentation, volatility and armed hostilities aggravating the fragility of the state. The 2021 delayed national elections furthered fragmentation with rival governments and armed groups competing for power, while an agreed election roadmap remains pending. The crisis and interrelated shocks continue to affect public services and Libyan households, with a disproportionate negative impact towards children and women, while the civic space continues to shrink. Despite these developments, the humanitarian situation improved, and efforts are pulled to transition under the new UN Cooperation Framework (2023-25) providing longer-term perspectives for affected populations, comprising the 50’000 people estimated to still have displacement related needs. Addressing those needs and vulnerabilities remains a priority for Libyans and the United Nations, to which UN Women contributes with a focus on women and girls. |
Ziele | Enhanced knowledge base on needs, vulnerabilities and challenges of internally displaced women and girls informing policy, programs and advocacy. |
Zielgruppen |
Direct targets: Indirect targets: |
Mittelfristige Wirkungen | Gender-specific priorities and needs of internally displaced women and girls are reflected in policy-making, programme design, advocacy and accountability frameworks in Libya. |
Resultate |
Erwartete Resultate: Resultate von früheren Phasen: Lack of disaggregated data is widely acknowledged in Libya (last census in 2006), including through UN’s assessments, both general and on IDPs. UN WOMEN wishes to focus on missing data on women and girls’ needs to better target their specific needs. UN WOMEN already advocates for this and is currently conducting research on the matter:
