“We can’t have a democracy in a country in which half of the population is oppressed.”

, a series of laws that aim to establish equality between women and men in various fields. Some articles in this code must be edited because they don’t go hand in hand with our constitution. The inequality of inheritance — in Tunisia, men inherit twice as much as women do — is also our major concern.

Firstly we must eliminate violence against women, poverty, women’s financial dependence on men, unemployment, and the Tunisian state’s deterioration. From my point of view, it’s also the lack of hope among young people in Tunisia. We have a high rate of immigration to Europe, a high suicide rate, and an increasing number of Tunisian youth sinking into juvenile delinquency.

The NUTW has also set up new actions to promote cultural tourism and other opportunities to help women, especially those who do crafts, promote and sell their products. This also helps protect them from being abused by their fathers, brothers, or husbands, since we all know that violence against women is highly linked to women’s financial dependence on men in their family.

We also need governmental stability and efficient political programs — not just some campaign speeches. Since the revolution of 2011, we have had five socialist governments, but almost every public service has been privatized. We’re really concerned about this as we consider it a threat to girls and women. If a woman has enough money, she’ll survive. If she doesn’t, she’ll suffer.
