Tunisian minister for women’s affairs Siham Bady said that Arab women have played a prominent role in the Arab Spring. Bady said in an exclusive interview with the reporter of the Middle East News Agency in Paris that Tunisian women are now being involved in the process of preserving the achievements of the revolution through the construction of a diplomatic path that would establish a new state, which aims at working on the path of freedom and dignity, away from unilateral and authoritarian systems. Bady, who is now visiting Paris, said that Tunisian women lived a unique experience of struggle against injustice and tyranny and had an active role in the revolution. She stressed that women are capable of making changes and improving the communities. The minister added that “the Tunisian revolution did not break out by chance. It was preceded by mobility and deep thinking by everyone in the community, including the women, ranging from the simple women to the educated ones. Their role in the streets came afterwards, when they stood on the front lines against the unjust regime and fell martyred or injured”. About Tunisian women’s achievement of their rights in the post-revolution era, Bady confirmed that  the role of women in Tunisia did not end with the revolution,\"as she is now represented by 25.7 per cent of the National Constituent Assembly and she is playing a role in the drafting of the new constitution.\" The minister, who was a political refugee in France from 1992 to 2011, said that all the forces in the community are keen not to compromise the achievements made by women in Tunisia, and that they are seeking to strengthen them and give women a political, economical and social role.
