National Women's Day is celebrated in Tunisia every year on August 13 - commemorates the day of adoption of the Code of Personal Status in Tunisia, the 13th of August in 1956, the year of independence in Tunisia. The code enacted laws for the family that contain fundamental changes, the most important of which is the prohibition of polygamy, the withdrawal of guardianship from men and the making of divorce by the court instead of men. Tunisia adopted the most progressive laws supporting women’s rights in the Middle East.
For many, it’s a day to acknowledge what they have achieved for women’s rights, while recognizing and continuing to fight the many challenges that still exist against gender equality.
