Souad Sbai (Arabic: سعاد السباعي, romanized: Suʿād as-Sbāʿī; born 1961) is a Moroccan-born Italian politician and writer.
She was born in Settat, Morocco, on 5 February 1961.[1] She has lived in Italy since about 1979.[2]
She was a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies from 2008 to 2013,[1] and in 2011 sponsored legislation to ban wearing the burqa in public in Italy.[3] She has been criticised, alongside Daniela Santanchè, for "setting the political agenda according to a demeaning image of Muslim women".[4] In 2009 she received death threats from Muslim radicals.[2]
Her doctoral thesis (Naples, 2005) was "Diritti delle donne e associazionismo femminile nei paesi del Maghreb", ("Women's rights and women's associations in the Maghreb countries").[5]
