Better Activism, Feminist Organisations Responses In Post-Revolution Tunisia

Abstract In the post-revolution period, women’s rights in Tunisia was a primary topic debated all through the new constitution drafting process. A heated debate between the Islamists and the so-called secularists about this issue was raised that has created tension between the two sides. Tunisia has collaborative and vibrant civil society activists who played a crucial role in protecting women’s rights. This research intends to focus on the discourses of change in gender roles that have been raised in post-revolution and on the role played by civil society in protecting women’s rights. This study aims to analyse data and recent events related to this subject, relying on secondary data sources to draw a clearer picture and to construct a deeper academic analysis of this topic.
