Female Engineers in Tunisia face Resignations
This article reveals the rising phenomenon of violence against women in Tunisia, especially within the workplace. The President of the Tunisian Association of Female Engineers confirmed that 50% of female engineers who have faced violence are considering resignation. Workplace violence not only threatens a woman's dignity and her psychological and physical well-being but also impacts her professional and economic continuity. It is recognized as one of the forms of violence covered by Tunisian Law No. 58 of 2017, which provides a broad definition of violence against women, including various types such as economic, physical, psychological, gender-based, and political violence. Data indicates that approximately 10.1% of women and girls in Tunisia have experienced violence from their current or former partners within the past twelve months. However, gaps in data and updates hinder accurate measurement of the prevalence of this phenomenon. The association has launched an awareness campaign under the title "If I Had Known" to empower women with knowledge of their rights and relevant laws, in an effort to counteract the effects of violence—effects that may lead women to abandon their career paths—and to mitigate its impact on society and the economy.
