| Abstract |
In 2017, Tunisia issued the law on violence against women. Both Islamists and non-Islamists were in favor of the law, which was adopted with unanimity by the Tunisian Parliament. Such a development challenges the literature on regime change and women’s rights, which warns for a rollback after regime change. This article examines the limits of the consensus on this new law and the arguments mobilized in the debates. |
