A feminist activist raises a sign reading in Arabic ''equal pay for equal work'' as demonstrators shout slogans 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, who 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.

A 15-point demand is put forward by the Nursing Association. Their demands include implementing the Ministry of Health and Population's directive dated October 10, 2025, ensuring that the minimum remuneration of health workers is not lower than that of government employees, providing allowances for additional work, ending daily-wage employment, and paying salaries and allowances through the banking system. The protesting nurses also demand recognition of skilled nursing professionals, who have long been treated as laborers, to be formally recognized and managed under the Health Act.
