Exploring Women’s Participation in Political Life in Tunisia

preloader logo

The Carter Center report examines women’s political participation in Tunisia during the 2019 presidential and legislative elections, highlighting that despite legal progress since the 2011 revolution, women continue to face significant social, economic, and institutional barriers. Women’s representation in parliament dropped from 35.9% to 26.2%, and only two women ran for president. The study reveals that the absence of horizontal parity, exclusion within political parties, political violence, and distrust in institutions hinder women’s participation. Although nearly 49% of women were registered to vote, actual turnout was low, particularly in rural areas. The report offers legislative, institutional, and social recommendations to ensure the full inclusion of women in Tunisia’s political life.
