Have just come away from court on a case involving 2 children living in Libya. CFAB's Libya project have been involved with the family. They have done amazing work over the last few years in maintaining contact between children who have been taken to live in Libya and left behind family. There was a great documentary on it last year following the 2010 trip.
As a result of events in Libya over the last few months there may be a change in attitudes to women's rights. Gaddafi was at least nominally supportive of the rights of women and children. It is not clear whether the change in regime will further the rights of women and children or result in a stricter adherence to Sharia law.
