Voice of Libyan Women
The Voice of Libyan Women (VLW) is a Non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in order to advance and protect women's rights in Libya. VLW is headquartered in Tripoli and has branch offices in Zawia and Misrata. VLW is still very much a youth-led organization which continues to advocate for women's development and to challenge the prevailing norms of Libyan society. VLW works to spread information at a national level by creating local teams made up both of individuals and organizations.
== History ==
The VLW was founded in August 2011 in response to the February 17 Libyan revolution.〔 It was founded in Tripoli by Alaa Murabit, a young doctor and women's rights activist. Murabit was in her last year of medical school and after the revolution, she felt that there was a "window of opportunity for women in Libya."〔 By November, the group had organized the first-ever International Women's Conference in Libya. Also, within a very short amount of time, the VLW had created a women's center in Tripoli and was offering classes.〔
Murabit shared that VLW attempted to use "proven international models" for their group, but found only closed doors in conservative, largely Sunni Arab populated Libya. By modifying their approach and using peaceful interpretations of Islam in their work, they found a greater voice among both men and women.〔 VLW's approach, using religion to "gain local-level support," has been a unique way to enact change in Libya.
