Theatre to reflect on GBV and prevent violent extremism in Tunisia

Within the framework of the project SALAM "Preventing Violent Extremism in Tunisia", the  Free Sight Association (FSA) organized a forum-Theatre titled "Yssir 3la Nsè" (It happens to women) in which young people from 12 to 17 years old, from Siliana (Tunisia), represented a theatre play based on different forms of Gender Based Violence (GBV).

The play opened a debate about alternatives to individual and social thoughts and behaviours that we have about the treatment and role given to women.

The aim of SALAM project is to strengthen the role of Tunisian women and youth in the development and implementation of strategies for the Prevention of all types of Violent Extremism (PEV), the improvement of social cohesion and community resilience.

The project is a consortium of Tunisian and international organizations: NOVACT, FSA, Tunisian League for Human Rights (Ligue Tunisienne de Droits Humains), Tunisian General Labour Union (Union Génerale des Travailleurs Tunisiens), Tunisian Association of Democratic Women (Association Tunisienne des Femmes Democrates) Gruppo di Volontariato Civile, Founding Organizations of the Observatory for the Prevention of Violent Extremism.
