Abstract
Tunisia, a small country, sixty times smaller than the United States, possesses little importance at the geostrategic level and does not have a lot of natural resources. Surprisingly, it is thanks to its women's rights policy that Tunisia can claim nowadays to be a country of capital importance for the Arab world. Indeed, the country has pursued a feminist policy for more than sixty years, and has earned the role of model in this region in the eyes of the international community. The major starting point of its feminist policy is the Personal Status Code, also known as PSC, promulgated in 1956 under Bourguiba. Progress on of women's rights continued under the presidency of Ben Ali, who led an institutional feminism policy until his eviction during the Arab Spring. However, since 2011 something has changed about women's rights and feminism; the movement has been recomposed. The central question is how and why did this movement change? And what are its consequences and limits?
