National Women's Day 2025 in Tunisia

Tunisia has a very progressive women rights legislation, comparing to other Middle Eastern countries. In 1956, it implemented the Code of Personal Status—a series of laws that regulate relations and institutions of equality between men and women in a number of areas. Women in Tunisia have the right to vote, seek office, and travel with their children without the permission of the father.

In the 1990s, President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali continued the state's feminist policies and created the Ministry of Women and Family Affairs, the position of Presidential Adviser on Women's Affairs, and the Center for Research, Documentation and Information on Women.
