This document represents a paper on Tunisia’s potential for furthering women’s rights. Since adoption of the 2014 constitution, women activists and legal practitioners seem confident that they have the tools at hand to safeguard – and even further – the position of women in Tunisia. The deletion of draft article 2.28 and the inclusion of articles 21 (setting forth equality of men and women) and 46 (committing to strength women’s rights) are seen as victories for the women’s movement.

Nonetheless, for this to happen, judges (including female judges) need to be educated about the possibilities for women’s advancement under the legal system. As the head of the Judges Union has states, “It is mainly women who can advance women’s rights” (interview with Abidi, 4 May 2015).
