Women Killed Crime Reports Launch
The 2025 report by the "Voices of Women" Association reveals an increase in the number of women’s murders to 30 cases, along with 5 attempted murders based on gender. This reflects a rising trend of violence against women in Tunisia. The report emphasizes that these crimes are not isolated incidents, but are part of organized and targeted violence against women driven by gender-based discrimination. It also notes that October saw the highest number of crimes (4), most of which took place in inland areas, through various methods including burning, strangulation, stabbing, and the use of solid objects, as well as new methods such as pushing victims down stairs or from elevators. The report calls for making the murder of women a separate offense in criminal law and for implementing more effective protective measures, in order to combat this increasingly escalating phenomenon—especially amid the decline in enforcement of Law 58-2017, which was designed to address violence against women.
