The overall status of women in Libya has improved since the efforts of the Gaddafi government in the 1969 revolution. The same government has been held responsible for various human rights violations, including on women.Equal pay for equal work, universal healthcare, and the right to education have become state policy. Women have gained the right to vote, run for political office, and participate in national institutions.
