Annual Report on Monitoring online violence against women in the Electoral context in Libya
Annual Report on Monitoring online violence against women in the Electoral context in Libya
September 2, 2026
This report reveals a disturbing pattern of online violence directed against women engaged in electoral and political affairs in Libya during the year 2025, including female candidates, women working in public institutions, and women associated with managing the electoral process.
The monitoring results show that this violence was not merely sporadic abuse or transient individual reactions but, in many cases, took on a repetitive and systematic character. This pattern seems clearly linked to key milestones in the electoral cycle, from the opening of candidate registration to electoral campaigns, and through to stages related to announcing polling dates and results.
