After a long process of workshops and consultations that started in the beginning of 2013, the Libyan Women’s Platform for Peace (LWPP) has compiled its Charter of Libyan Women's Constitutional Rights. By including female civil society leaders, activists, academics, legal experts and religious leaders in their deliberations, the LWPP has worked on building a consensus around gender equality, universal human rights and the principles of the Islamic Sharia. “The Charter was inspired by the principles of equality and dignity rooted in Islamic Sharia, along with universal principles of human rights. Most importantly it is a charter drafted by local voices. It’s a charter by Libyan women for Libyan women.” says Zahra’ Langhi, Co-founder and Director of LWPP.
