Monia Ben Jemia

[3] Jemia reports that because she was born into a conservative family, she was immensely inspired by the feminist works of Simone Du Beauvoir as a teenager.

[4] Jemia's mother was illiterate and her family stuck to strict gender roles.

ATFD focuses on trying to curb issues of violence against women (such as making incest easier to prosecute and adopting more humane interview tactics when interviewing children).

[5] Their secondary, though also important focus is to increase the codified rights of women who are married (increase property rights, let women also be the legal guardian of their children, etc.).

[6] One of Jemia's central beliefs is that the democracy in Tunisia will not move forward unless women receive more fundamental rights.
