| Tunisian Women Fear Islamism's Return |
| 2011-01-24 |
| "I'm scared of the return of the Islamists," said Sonia, a 35-year-old government official who declined to give her last name...They'll impose a new culture that is totally alien to us, like the fundamentalist dress code," she said, referring to the Muslim headscarf worn by some women in the north African state." Mabrouka, 29, a journalist who also did not give her last name, was watchful. "I saw a lot of bearded men today. I was really afraid." [note that some of the women don't feel safe giving their name] Dorra Bouzid, a well-known journalist and feminist, said women had to be prepared to fight to keep the rights they had won. "We have to be careful and multiply our efforts to protect women," she said. Her concerns were illustrated this weekend in Tunis when a group of youths shouted crude insults at a female AFP reporter, jeering and mocking her. "Women's rights are over after the revolution!" one shouted. |
