The new transitional cabinet, proposed today
by Dr. Ali Zidan, includes two women: Ikram
Imam, the minister of tourism, and Kamila
Almazini, minister of social affairs. Temehu welcomes the appointment of a female minister to administer tourism in Libya. The only country in the world in 2012 where women form more than half of the parliament (lower or single House) is African Rwanda (57%), followed by Andorra (50%), and Cuba and Sweden (45%). Libya and the USA are far behind, nearly at the end of the table.
