14-12-2018
Al Akhbar showcased on Wednesday a documentary by BBC Arabic entitled, ‘My Share is My Right’. The latter investigates the rift in Tunisian society after the ratification by parliament on November 23 of the personal status law in support of gender equality in inheritance (https://goo.gl/TqeU8h). The film also screens testimonies by Tunisian women who suffered from this discrimination, in addition to religious views on the issue. BBC Arabic correspondent, Nada Issa, portrays stories of women who campaigned all their life to secure or seize their rights from their male brothers in citizenship. Issa also met the Tunisian president to talk about the new proposals which reportedly will pave the way for the new generation in building a better Tunisia. In the religious part, the reporter spoke to Imam Tayyeb Ghazi, representing the conservative clerics, who maintained that the predicament is not in the legislation, but in the avidity of citizens who renounce Islamic teachings. Ghazi voiced his fear that the legislation might change the Islamic identity of the North African ِArab country. (Al Akhbar, December 14, 2018)
