At the forefront of promoting human rights and advocating for a safer society, Amazonat Libya took significant strides in addressing the critical issue of gender-based violence. Through a series of impactful workshops conducted in 2011, 2012, and 2013, Amazonat Libya aimed to raise awareness and champion the rights and safety of women.

Creating Safe Spaces

Gender-based violence is a pervasive issue that affects individuals across various demographics, transcending geographical boundaries. Recognizing the urgency and importance of combating this alarming phenomenon, Amazonat Libya dedicated time and effort to organize workshops designed to create safe spaces for dialogue, education, and empowerment.

Years of Dedication (2011-2013)

Over the span of three years, from 2011 to 2013, Amazonat Libya consistently organized and facilitated workshops that delved into the multifaceted aspects of gender-based violence. These sessions were not just informative but served as crucial platforms for survivors, activists, and advocates to come together, share experiences, and work towards comprehensive solutions.

Raising Awareness

One of the primary objectives of these workshops was to raise awareness about the different forms of gender-based violence, including physical, emotional, and economic abuse. By providing information on the prevalence and impact of such violence, Amazonat Libya aimed to dispel myths, challenge societal norms, and foster a collective commitment to eradicating gender-based violence.

Advocating for Women's Rights

Empowerment and advocacy were central themes throughout the workshops. Amazonat Libya, through its expertly crafted programs, equipped participants with knowledge about their rights and legal protections. By arming individuals with information, the organization sought to empower women to stand up against violence and discrimination.

Building Support Networks

Beyond education and advocacy, these workshops fostered the creation of support networks. Survivors, activists, and community members came together to form bonds of solidarity, offering emotional support and practical guidance. Amazonat Libya recognized the importance of community in combating gender-based violence and worked towards building a network of resilient individuals committed to change.

Impactful Community Engagement

The workshops organized by Amazonat Libya were not confined to closed spaces. The organization actively engaged with communities, encouraging open conversations about gender-based violence and promoting inclusivity. By reaching out to diverse audiences, Amazonat Libya aimed to create a ripple effect of awareness and change.

Continued Commitment

While the workshops conducted in 2011, 2012, and 2013 were significant milestones, Amazonat Libya's commitment to addressing gender-based violence remains unwavering. The organization continues to evolve its programs, responding to the changing landscape and emerging challenges in the realm of women's rights and safety.

In response to the aftermath of Storm Daniel, which caused severe flooding in Derna, Amazonat Libya has taken proactive measures to address the immediate needs of affected families. On November 20th, the organization initiated the drilling of the first well in Alfatayh Neighborhood, marking a significant step toward providing essential fresh water to over 300 people impacted by the devastating flooding.

The torrential rains and flooding resulting from Storm Daniel have left many families in Derna grappling with the scarcity of clean water, posing a serious threat to their health and well-being. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Amazonat Libya mobilized resources and collaborated with local partners to launch this crucial well-drilling project.

The primary objective of the initiative is to ensure that Derna residents, particularly those in the heavily affected Alfatayh Neighborhood, have access to a sustainable source of fresh water. By drilling wells strategically, Amazonat Libya aims to alleviate the immediate water crisis and contribute to the overall recovery efforts in the region.

"This well-drilling project is a vital step in our commitment to supporting the communities impacted by Storm Daniel. Access to clean water is a fundamental human right, and we are determined to make a tangible difference in the lives of those facing the harsh consequences of the recent flooding," stated [Spokesperson's Name], the spokesperson for Amazonat Libya.

The project aligns with Amazonat Libya's mission to provide humanitarian assistance and promote community resilience in the face of natural disasters. The organization is working closely with local authorities and volunteers to ensure the efficient execution of the well-drilling initiative.

As the drilling progresses, Amazonat Libya remains focused on expanding its efforts to reach as many affected residents as possible. The organization is actively seeking support from the community, local businesses, and international partners to maximize the impact of the project and facilitate a swift recovery for the people of Derna.

The well-drilling initiative is part of a broader commitment by Amazonat Libya to address the immediate needs of storm-affected communities and contribute to their long-term recovery. The organization will continue to provide updates on the progress of the project and welcomes collaboration from all stakeholders invested in the well-being of the residents of Derna.

Amazonat Libya’s Educational and Psychological Capacity-Building Program

In collaboration with CESVI and the European Union, Amazonat Libya successfully delivered a series of workshops aimed at enhancing the capabilities of educators, social counselors, and psychological advisors within Libya's basic education system (grades 1-9). The program provided participants with essential skills to address critical issues affecting students, such as drug prevention, protection from harassment, and stress management.

Training Topics Covered:

Drugs: Awareness and Prevention
Participants learned about the various types of drugs, their harmful effects, and how to support individuals seeking help to quit. The training aimed to raise awareness of the dangers of drug abuse and provide educators with tools to help students make informed decisions.

Protection from Harassment and Sexual Exploitation
This session focused on educating participants about the different forms of harassment, how to protect children from sexual exploitation, and how to teach children about personal boundaries ("red zones"). It also included strategies for helping students say "no" to exploitation and seek assistance when needed.

Types of Stress and Self-Care Strategies
The training covered the various types of stress that students may experience and provided educators with self-care strategies to help both themselves and their students manage stress and potential trauma effectively.

In 2016, Amazonat Libya joined hands with UNICEF and the Women's Empowerment Forum to embark on the transformative "Friendly Spaces" project. This initiative aimed at establishing secure and nurturing environments for children in refugee camps and underserved neighborhoods in Benghazi.

Through our collaborative efforts, we recognized the profound impact that safe and supportive spaces can have on the well-being and development of children. "Friendly Spaces" became a beacon of hope, providing a haven where children could play, learn, and grow despite the challenging circumstances they faced.

Amazonat Libya's commitment to creating these spaces extended beyond physical infrastructure. Our team worked tirelessly to develop engaging programs, educational activities, and psychosocial support, ensuring that each child found solace and encouragement within these safe havens.

By prioritizing the needs of children in refugee camps and underprivileged neighborhoods, we not only aimed to address immediate challenges but also sought to lay the foundation for a brighter future. Through the "Friendly Spaces" project, Amazonat Libya aspired to instill a sense of normalcy, joy, and optimism in the lives of the young beneficiaries.

As we reflect on this collaborative endeavor, we celebrate the positive impact "Friendly Spaces" has had on countless children, fostering resilience, and creating a nurturing environment where they can thrive despite adversity.
