Libyan transitional council

To expect the Libyan transitional council to be sensitive to women is akin to expecting al-Qa`idah to promote women's rights:  "But one group has been lost in the reshuffling — women. While the fledgling rebel government has more than doubled in size, women now occupy just 2 of the 40 or so positions in the leadership. A woman had been expected to be named to be education minister, but after a number of candidates were passed over or refused the job, a man is now expected to take over the ministry."
