Libya launches its first postage stamp to support women
On the sidelines of the celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the Women's Support Unit
The Libyan Telecommunications Holding Company, in cooperation with the High National Elections Commission, launched the first postage stamp dedicated to Libyan women, as part of its efforts to support women's empowerment.
This was done in cooperation with the High Electoral Commission as part of its efforts to support women's participation in the electoral process.
The company stated that the postage stamp was launched last Thursday to commemorate the anniversary of the establishment of the Women's Support Unit within the organization. The stamp aims to support the committee's efforts and honor its contributions, "in recognition of the role of women, to strengthen their efforts, and to pay tribute to their contributions.".
The Chairman of the Libyan High National Elections Commission, Emad Al-Sayeh, thanked the Libyan Postal Company for its role in facilitating the transport of election materials and resources throughout Libya. This support was instrumental in ensuring the smooth running of the electoral process.
Components and connotations of the character
1- The Commission's logo:
The upper triangle: Its sides represent the main components of the electoral process.
The lower triangle: Its sides represent the international standards for managing and implementing the electoral process.
Voting symbol: represents voting rights
2- The Women's Support Unit's slogan:
The symbol is the woman's face, representing the vote. The logo's language is Arabic, English, Amazigh, and Tubu.
A stamp supporting women is issued with a nominal value of 500 dirhams and 1000 Libyan dirhams.
Since the outbreak of the Libyan revolution in 2011, Libyan women have played a leading role in advocating for peace and women's rights. Recently, Libyan women have been lauded for their achievements in international forums, including being included in the BBC's list of the 100 most influential people and being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Furthermore, Forbes magazine ranked Libyan women among the 50 most influential women in Africa.
In addition to working together to solve problems, the women also used new communication and momentum-building techniques to build peace. This helped unite disparate groups and create a unified effort to achieve peace.
Women have played a vital role in Libya’s modern history, in both the public and private sectors. While women have made significant strides in many areas, their ability to fully participate in the Libyan economy and society remains limited. This is partly due to traditional social barriers and discrimination, but also to a lack of opportunities and access to education and business skills. Improving women’s economic opportunities and status is essential for building a stronger and more prosperous future for Libya as a whole.
