Libyan women train for military, hope for equality

Libyan women train for military, hope for equality

In this Sept. 25, 2011 photo, a woman holds her weapon in Benghazi, Libya. Revolutionary forces are offering military training to women who are lining up to protect their cities and themselves if Moammar Gadhafi's forces try to return. The fugitive leader had a contingent of female bodyguards when he was in power but otherwise, women generally have stayed on the sidelines in this conservative Islamic society.
