Tunisia Femicide Rate Rises in 2025
The 2025 report by the "Voices of Women" Association reveals an alarming increase in the phenomenon of women’s femicide in Tunisia. The year recorded 30 murder cases and 5 attempted killings, marking a significant rise compared to previous years. The primary source of these crimes is identified as the family environment. Data indicates that violence often begins within the household and is perpetrated through various methods such as knives, burning, and strangulation. The crimes are most concentrated in the months of October, February, and April. The association attributes this escalating trend to the rising hate speech and incitement to violence against women, coupled with the absence of effective legislative intervention for the past four years. They emphasize the need for the law to recognize the killing of women as an independent crime, strengthen legal protection measures, and develop preventive policies. Additionally, the association calls for the creation of a digital platform to monitor and document these crimes, stressing that official figures do not reflect the true extent of the tragedy. Behind every number is a woman’s life, a woman who once aspired to safety and dignity.
