Azza Ghanmi is a Tunisian academic and feminist, widely recognized for her contributions to the advancement of women's rights within Tunisia and on the international stage.
In the late 1970s, Ghanmi played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Club d’Etude de la Condition de la Femme at the Club Tahar Haddad.[1] This initiative, undertaken in collaboration with fellow feminist activists, promoted substantive discussions concerning the status of Tunisian women.
In 1985, she played a crucial role in the establishment of Nissa, a feminist magazine that ran until 1987 and served as a platform for the dissemination of feminist discussions.[2]
Ghanmi's dedication to gender equality has extended beyond national borders, as she aligned with the l’Association des femmes africaines pour la recherche et le développement (AFARD),[3] commonly recognized as the Association of African Women for Research and Development. This organization advocated upholding the rights of children and women on the international stage. Ghanmi also published Le Mouvement Féministe Tunisien in 1993, a book which discusses themes of autonomy and diversity in regards to the Tunisian feminist movement in the 1980s, and is composed of documents and reports on various events in which the author took part, all in chronological order and accompanied by her commentary.[4][5]
Ghanmi's advocacy also extended to ensuring compliance with the International Convention for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), to which Tunisia became a signatory in 1985.[6][7] She is committed to universal human rights conventions and positions herself as a steadfast proponent of women's and children's rights.
