Feminist organizations denounce decree of new electoral law

The new electoral law in Tunisia raises several questions about women’s participation and representation in next parliament, as specialists believe women’s presence will be low if not non-existent, stating that the new law excludes women. Feminist activists in Tunisia continue their demonstration against the decree of the new electoral law.

Female activists in feminist civil society today considered during a critical reading of the law, that it discriminates against women, denies women’s rights and prejudices equality among citizens. Dozens of women demonstrated earlier outside the electoral commission to denounce this decree.
