Just to clarify for the ppl who may not udnerstand this: the people are still muslim and love their faith and culture etc...it's just there will be an official separation of state and religion which is EXCELLENT. This is the progression many muslim nations should follow (though there are already tons who do not have a state religion like Syria, Lebanon, Central Asia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Albania, Kosovo, Indonesia etc...). Glad to see North Africa being the leader in doing this in the Arab world at least! I'm pretty sure Tunisia and Morocco are some of the most open minded muslim majority nations. Hope to see more follow their lead and hopefully Morocco can do the same too soon :clap3: 

 

Also here is a map of all the nations with a state religion (For some it is more symbolic but still...seems so damn archaic. The fact that some European states still have that is kind of mind boggling. Time to move on and separate state and religion completely everywhere.):

I wish Pakistan would follow suit but it's the first country founded on Islam & they're not going to fall back on that title... especially with their ties to Saudi.

This one holds true for most religions though lol. See: the US right now and the Christians obsession with controlling women's bodies.

 

Abortion has been legal in Tunisia since 1973. 

Polygamy has been illegal since 1956.

Women are free to marry non-Muslims.

Current Prime Minister is the first female prime minister in MENA.

 

Just to name a few. The fight for women's rights and gender equality will always continue (equal inheritance law for instance) but I would say women in Tunisia have it way better than other countries in the region.

Wow that's nice to hear I had no idea Tunisia was this progressive
