Rida Ahmed al-Tubuly (also: Reda, Al-Tubuly, Al Tubuly, al-Tabuly; Arabic: رضا الطبولي; born 1962[citation needed]) is a Libyan pharmacologist and activist. She teaches at the University of Tripoli as a professor of pharmacology.[1] She is an activist for equality and has campaigned to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325. She was selected as one of the BBC 100 Women in 2019[2].

Early life and education

Al-Tubuly first encountered gender discrimination at the age of five, when she wasn't allowed to accompany her brothers playing outside.[1] Al-Tubuly studied at the University of Warsaw, and graduated with a Master's degree in 1987.[3] She moved to the United Kingdom for her graduate studies, earning a doctoral degree in pharmacology at Imperial College London in 1997.[3] She has also earned a Master of Laws in international human rights law the University of Essex.

Research

As well as being a professor of pharmacology at the University of Tripoli[4], al-Tubuly served as Head of Medicine Registration at the Libyan Ministry of Health.[5][6] In this capacity she acted as a mediator between the World Health Organization and Libya.[5]

Social activism

Al-Tubuly founded Maan Nabneeha Movement – Together We Build It (TWBI)[7], a non-profit organisation that looks to engage young people and women in politics, in 2011.[8] It founded the 1325 network, a collective of civil society organisations that looks to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, a resolution that focussed on women, peace and security. She co-authored the first civil report on the UNSCR 1325 which was launched in New York City in 2014.[5][9] TWBI also established the Libyan Women Database, a network of professional women across Libya.[5][10]

From 2012 al-Tubuly worked to empower women in the democratic process.[11] She has encouraged women to be more involved with decision making and supporting them in running for office.[11] She has questioned why the United Nations have not involved Libyan women in peace talks, when women have had suffered considerably during the war.[12] She has discussed how war impacts women and girls' freedom of movement and access to education.[1] She believes there should be a total ban on arms trade with Libya.[1] Al-Tubuly has provided evidence to the United Nations Human Rights Council on women's rights in Libya.[13] She serves as an Expert for the Council of Europe.[14]

She was named as one of the BBC 100 Women in 2019.[2][15]
