Feminists March Against Civil Society Crackdown And Restrictions On Public Space In Tunis

Feminist activists chant slogans while raising a placard reading in Arabic, ''rural women are dying in trucks while you, cursed president, rule the country,'' during a march organized by feminist groups, including the Tunisian Association of the Democratic Women (ATFD), in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 29, 2025. The demonstration brings together hundreds of human rights defenders, feminist activists, opposition parties, civil society members, and ordinary Tunisians to denounce what protesters describe as a growing crackdown on freedoms, criminalization of civil society, and restrictions on public space imposed by Tunisian authorities. Participants also condemn the suspension of the activities of dozens of associations and organizations, as well as the rising gender-based violence. They show solidarity with opposition figures recently sentenced on appeal in the ''conspiracy against state security'' case. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
