Via 3 portraits, ARTE Reportage seeks to find out how the women of the Libyan Spring are experiencing their newfound freedom.

Soraya was a prisoner of Colonel Gaddafi for 5 years. She was taken away by force, reduced to the rank of a courtesan and shut up in his harem.
Rana belongs to the new Arab Spring generation that is open onto the world and connected. At the age of 22, she already has high hopes of a woman president in Libya.
Lamia, who is single and in her forties, does not wear a veil and would appear to be very liberal, but she has chosen to represent the controversial Islamist El Watan Homeland party.

These 3 Libyan women share one thing in common: a daily struggle to exist in a society that is still largely dominated by men.
