The European Union supports a gender equality awareness raising campaign during the international 16-Days of Activism in Libya.
Several sessions which targeted different age groups were conducted at a secondary school in the city of Misrata. Social workers presented information about reproductive health and well-being of girls while stressing the importance and role of the women in society and developing self-confidence.
