Nabiha Ben Miled

Nabiha Ben Miled (Arabic: نبيــهة بــن ميلاد, 4 March 1919-6 May 2009) was a pioneering Tunisian women's rights activist and nationalist.

[4] With the encouragement of her husband, in 1936, Miled joined the Tunisian Union of Muslim Women [ar] (MWUT) led by Bchira Ben Mrad.

[4] Initially formed to support the education of girls, by 1938, they had extended their aims to providing assistance to political prisoners and those involved in the independence movement seeking an end to the French colonial administration.

[4] Her shift in ideology and allegiance came about because the leadership of the Destour party, rather than demanding Tunisian autonomy outright, was in favor of liberalization through modification of the existing constitution.

[2][6] Miled was in favor of the more radical approach, which combined nationalist goals with social improvement programs,[2] especially those aimed at providing for women's rights and schooling opportunities for disadvantaged children.
