Women Empowerment's Mechanism, Case Study Tunisia

The woman is the family’s backbone. She brings life to the world and contributes to the education of future generations. In ancient times, the woman, in the Arab world, had a narrow role based on gender and physical abilities. The woman has to carry out Household Chores which has included resources management, cleaning, washing, and cooking, to provide a comfortable and healthy environment for her children and husband. Meanwhile, to provide for his family’s needs, the man must work a job that generally requires physical skills. As societies have evolved, the Women's roles have gradually changed. Today’s Women are directly involved in the socio-economic cycle and contribute to their country's development. Furthermore, several women have influenced societies, held high positions, and demonstrated strong leadership and management abilities. In response to the needs of the times, leaders and decision-makers have seized the opportunity to change history. However, the path of modernizing societies and liberating women was challenging. Arab Governments needed to conciliate between the cultural Islamic tradition and the modern civic social concepts. Furthermore, they were required to establish new civic values, cultivate a particular social mindset based on justice and fairness, implement the necessary measures, and perform changes. In this context, we attempt to examine the situation of women in Tunisia and analyze the mechanisms that contributed to women's liberation following independence
