The World Social Forum reviews debt and taxes: Who pays, who profits and why?

The World Social Forum reviews debt and taxes: Who pays, who profits and why?

eurodad.org –

While most of the world’s population was reeling from one of the globe’s multiple crises, social movements and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) gathered at the World Social Forum (WSF) in Tunisia last month in search of alternatives. The country where the Arab Spring started in late 2010 was a great choice to host the WSF in 2013. Inspired by the successful campaign to overthrow the autocratic regime of Ben Ali three years ago, Tunisian civil society is amazingly active, highly motivated more...

Tunisia: One step forward, two steps back?

Tunisia: One step forward, two steps back?

amnesty.org –

In its first months, Tunisia’s caretaker government made important progress towards human rights reform. However, one year after the election of the National Constituent Assembly, a number of setbacks raise doubts as to the authorities’ genuine commitment to human rights. This briefing examines human rights developments in the country since October 2011. It concludes that initial progress made on human rights has not gone far enough, and that ongoing human rights violations highlight the urgent more...

Determinants of educational participation and gender differences in education in six Arab countries

Determinants of educational participation and gender differences in education in six Arab countries

The authors study determinants of educational participation and gender differences in education for young children in six Arab countries: Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen. In the cities of most countries (except Yemen) gender differences have largely disappeared. Multivariate analyses show that similar household-level factors (e.g. wealth, education, number of siblings) are important as in the West, but that the importance of household-level factors compared to context factors more...

Arab Muslim women after the uprisings

Arab Muslim women after the uprisings

peacebuilding.no –

Women’s participation in the Arab uprisings has been inspired by the expansion of an Islamist-based model of Arab women’s activism and a gradual shrinking of secular liberal women’s activism. The uprisings have provided outcomes that prove the possibility of combining Islam with democracy through the political success of Islamist parties in the post-uprisings era, like in Tunisia and Egypt.

Tunisia: Economic and Social Challenges Beyond the Revolution

Tunisia: Economic and Social Challenges Beyond the Revolution

The Tunisian uprising began as a spontaneous social protest against unemployment and social injustice in the interior of the country.

The revolution and the ongoing democratization process under way in Tunisia represents a unique open opportunity to free the country from the obstacles that previously impeded its development. While short-term policies should give strong more...
