– Libyan women’s exclusion from the local and international political scenes on Libya, and the impact of this exclusion on the roadmap to peace
– The resilience of Libyan civil society and women-led initiatives on the grassroots level, the threats they are facing, their significant contribution to limiting the intensification of violence, and ways for the international community to support them
– Feminist alternatives towards achieving sustainable peace in Libya
– The role of the international community, particularly the Human Rights Council, donors and influential States, in promoting the meaningful participation of Libyan women and civil society in the peace process
