Abstract

The political transitions in Tunisia have been marked by significant social changes, including shifts in gender roles and power dynamics within the state apparatus. A quantitative survey was conducted among a diverse sample of Tunisian citizens to gather data on perceptions of gender and its impact on political participation and decision-making processes. The survey revealed that women's representation in leadership positions has increased but remains below the national average, indicating progress but room for improvement. While Tunisia shows a trend towards greater inclusivity in governance, persistent disparities suggest ongoing challenges in achieving true gender parity and empowerment. Enhanced public education campaigns targeting both genders to foster understanding of the importance of gender diversity in leadership are recommended.
