| Итог: | Despite the increase in girls’ schooling and their performance first at school and then at university compared with men, young women are discriminated against in employment in Tunisia. Beyond differences in physical, age, social and economic conditions, all women suffer discrimination simply because they are women. Not to mention the cascading discrimination based on disability, social origin and nationality, young women are the most exposed to the danger of violence, economic exploitation and even human trafficking. However, in the aftermath of the Revolution, politicians became aware of the need to speed up the establishment of gender equality. However, the various legal texts adopted have not been effective and have only partially changed the reality for young women, including in the workplace. Despite the measures taken to promote de facto equality in the labour market, persistent discrimination against young women hinders their access to employment on an equal footing with young men. Women are absorbed into the informal sector, a shadow economy and a hotbed of injustice. |
