Boom in Libyen: Frauencafes
Fashionable cafes springing up in Libya's capital are shutting out single men and catering for women looking for a break from the tensions: political and personal: crowding in around them.
The cafes with European names and bright decor seem a world away from the city's traffic-clogged and still violent streets. In a socially conservative society, they also offer privacy and protection from unwanted advances.
