Tunisia’s parliament has approved a bill aimed at ending “all violence against women” in a move welcomed by rights groups.
The new law, which is expected to enter into force next year, defines violence against women as “any physical, moral, sexual or economic aggression” against women based on discrimination between the two sexes.
It includes the key elements of the definition of domestic violence recommended in the United Nations Handbook for Legislation on Violence against Women.
