I15-R201-article-5102025-04-27T22:03:17Z Interview with Rania Benzina. The dichotomy of the political and social emancipatory process of Tunisian women Entrevista a Rania Benzina. La dicotomía del proceso emancipatorio político y social de las tunecinas Sánchez Bernal , Indira The struggle of Tunisian women since the 1980s resulted in a divide between Islamic feminism and secular feminism. Secular feminism rejects female emancipation based on religion because religion subsumes women's role in society. In contrast, Islamic feminism maintains that the fight against patriarchy should be framed within Islam because religion has provided women the elements to be subjects of law and politics. Since 2011 protests, the dichotomy between both sides has been more profound, especially after the Al-Nahda party came to power, and the reconstruction of the identity of Tunisian women has become a debate among women. Tunisian women are not only Arab or Islamic; they are also Berber, Maghrebian, and African. The interview with Rania Benzina, a member of the Tunisian Association of Democratic Women, exposes the complexity of the political framework and the struggle against the patriarchy of the women in Tunisia, as well as a vital question: what means to be a woman in Tunisia? Women's answer to this query is, therefore, a process of political redefinition. La lucha de las mujeres tunecinas desde la década de 1980 se encuentra dividida entre el feminismo islámico y el feminismo laico. El feminismo laico critica que la emancipación política y social de las mujeres esté sustentada en la religión, porque la religión subsume el papel de la mujer en la sociedad; mientras que el feminismo islámico sostiene que la lucha contra el patriarcado se enmarca en el Islam, porque la religión ha brindado los elementos para que las mujeres sean sujetas de derecho y sujetas políticas. Desde las protestas del año 2011, la dicotomía de ambas vertientes es más profunda, especialmente tras la llegada al poder del partido Al Nahda, y se ha logrado que la reconstrucción identitaria de la mujer tunecina sea un debate entre las mujeres. La mujer tunecina, no es sólo árabe o islámica, es amazigh (bereber), es magrebí y es africana. La entrevista con Rania Benzina, integrante de la Asociación Tunecina de Mujeres Demócratas, expone la complejidad del entramado político y la lucha contra el patriarcado de las mujeres en Túnez, así como una cuestión vital: ¿qué significa ser una mujer en Túnez? La respuesta que se está articulando evidencia un proceso de redefinición política. Escuela de Historia. Facultad de Humanidades y Artes.

The struggle of Tunisian women since the 1980s resulted in a divide between Islamic feminism and secular feminism. Secular feminism rejects female emancipation based on religion because religion subsumes women's role in society. In contrast, Islamic feminism maintains that the fight against patriarchy should be framed within Islam because religion has provided women the elements to be subjects of law and politics. Since 2011 protests, the dichotomy between both sides has been more profound, especially after the Al-Nahda party came to power, and the reconstruction of the identity of Tunisian women has become a debate among women. Tunisian women are not only Arab or Islamic; they are also Berber, Maghrebian, and African. The interview with Rania Benzina, a member of the Tunisian Association of Democratic Women, exposes the complexity of the political framework and the struggle against the patriarchy of the women in Tunisia, as well as a vital question: what means to be a woman in Tunisia? Women's answer to this query is, therefore, a process of political redefinition. |
