EL MOVIMIENTO FEMINISTA TUNECINO Y LA IGUALDAD DE GÉNERO EN LA ERA DEMOCRÁTICA: UNA GENEALOGÍA DE LA TENSIÓN ENTRE AGRUPACIONES SECULARES Y RELIGIOSAS.

Abstract

From 2011 to 2014, the National Constituent Assembly, reflecting the
political pluralism born from the Jasmine Revolution, achieved the sanction
of a new constitution. The NCA brought together all the parties, including
Ennahda, the main leader of political Islam in the country. This experience
led to a democratic opening that expanded civil rights and freedoms, in
particular, for women. However, the feminist movement struggles with reconciling the differences that emerge from multiple trajectories of activism and from cultural, socioeconomic and even geographic variables.
The split between secular and religious feminism, referenced in Ennahda,
is perceived in the tension around the modification of the Heritage Law
that favors men over women in the distribution of family heritage. This
article explores the conditions of possibility of the current fragmentation of
Tunisian feminism, culminating in the public discussion, between 2017 and
2019, about the aforementioned legislation.
