Detailed explanation-1: -Over the following decades, Tunisia came to be considered among the most progressive countries in the Arab world in terms of family law and its advancement of women’s rights.
Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. Women and girls across the Middle East and North Africa, as elsewhere, face discrimination in the law and across society, including widespread violence. Huge inequalities in the law leave women and girls treated as second-class citizens, with little to no protection from violence.
