Wednesday, November 13:
9:00 – Organized by Aswat Nissa, the #EnaZeda campaign is planning to meet in front of the Assembly of People’s Representatives, apparently in protest of sexual harassers and sexual violence, shortly before a plenary (full) session of parliament where the newly elected members will take their oaths. One of the elected members of parliament who has yet to take up his post in the new parliament, Zouheir Maklhouf, is alleged to have sexually harassed a 19-year-old woman in Nabeul on October 10 and this case has created a media storm. For more background on #EnaZeda, read Meshkal’s report on the issue.
