Video: Landmark Proposals on Gender Bias and Privacy in Tunisia

Tunisian authorities should adopt legislation based on the groundbreaking proposals made by a presidentially appointed commission aimed at protecting individual freedoms and eliminating discrimination against women.

Human Rights Watch released a video that urges the Tunisian president to adopt the proposed legislative reforms. The Commission on Individual Freedoms and Equality, in its report published on June 12, 2018, recommended decriminalizing sodomy and ensuring equality between men and women in inheritance, eliminating “morality” laws, and abolishing the death penalty.
