A leading human rights organization claims that a domestic abuse law adopted in Tunisia five years ago has not succeeded in protecting women.
In a new report, Human Rights Watch has concluded that poor implementation of what it describes as one of the strongest laws against domestic violence in the Middle East and North Africa has left Tunisian women at risk.
The group alleges that the Tunisian authorities have failed to systematically respond, investigate and provide protection to women who report violence.
