Amazonian Guard

Muammar Gaddafi's bodyguards were an elite team of female bodyguards trained to protect him.

They were all virgins and take a vow of chastity when becoming official bodyguards. Gaddafi believed it was empowering for women to be his bodyguards. He said, “Women should be trained for combat, so that they do not become easy prey for their enemies.”

They were all trained killers and hand-picked by Gaddafi himself. The girls wore lipstick, jewellery, polished nails, and even high heels most of the time.

All of his girls were said to swear an oath that they will give their lives for him and it is claimed they never leave his side, night or day.

Gaddafi makes the final selection and, despite his insistence that his guards are chaste, rumours abound that he demands their sexual favors. After the NATO led Revolution that overthrew Gaddafi was over, several of his bodyguards admitted that Gaddafi would sexually abuse them sometimes.
