About Us
We are an inter-generational non-profit organization working to promote peace and security in Libya. TWBI believes in the important role of an inter-generational gender approach to formal and non-formal peace-building. TWBI based in Libya was founded in September 2011, and since then has been working on women, peace and security, and empowering young people to play an active role in building peace in Libya.

TWBI continues to lead projects on women, peace and security including; advocating women’s meaningful political participation, prevention and raising awareness on harmful gender norms and Gender Based Violence (GBV), gender research, reporting to the international mechanism on human rights, and capacity building for Libyan groups and actors on peace-building.
