Project presentation
In Tunisia, 47% of women aged 18 to 64 have experienced at least one form of violence (psychological, physical, and/or sexual). Legal frameworks remain largely unknown, violence is still socially tolerated, and perpetrators often go unpunished. This issue is particularly severe in the Kef Governorate, where numerous cases of violence have been reported.
In 2018, Terre des Hommes France implemented a pilot project to support women victims of violence and raise public awareness, in partnership with the local association Femme et Citoyenneté. The organization continues its work in this region by providing legal and psychological support to women victims of violence, and by training public service providers as well as education and health professionals to improve the identification and care of gender-based violence cases.
