How are women’s rights in Tunisia different from those in other Muslim countries?

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Tunisia, unlike many other Muslim countries in North Africa and the Middle East, actively promotes the legal and social status of women. Traditional dress is discouraged, and women typically wear Western-style clothing. Women can own businesses and property and apply for their own passports. Polygamy is outlawed in Tunisia, and parents are required to send girls to school. About half of all university students are women. As in many Muslim countries, traditional ways are more likely to be practiced in rural areas.
