Tunisia-[Video] Abir Moussi: A bill to combat discrimination against women

Speaking at a press conference,PDL leader Abir Moussi affirmed that her party has introduced a law to stop violence against women.
Concerning political violence against women, the MP stated that the concept of political violence was not well outlined in the old text and that the penalties are relatively derisory.

She recommended that political and moral violence be penalised with a fine of 5,000 dinars instead of 1,000 with 6 months in jail in the event of a repeat offence, adding that the provocation of public opinion to abandon the gains of women will also be condemnable.

in this sense, legal persons need to be also sanctioned in the event of discrimination against women by the halt of their activities and even the dissolution in the event of recidivism, as well as the media that justify violence against women.

The politician likewise condemned the exploitation of the image of women in politics, adding that the PDL project intends to combat Islamic and extremist beliefs that attempt to normalize discrimination against women.
