To mark International Women’s Day, the U.S. Embassy Deputy Political and Economic Counselor Auden Mckernan and Representative of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) A. Heather Coyne led a roundtable discussion with a group of Tunisian activists for women’s issues.
They debated the pace of women’s progress in the U.S. and Tunisia, particularly in the areas of gender equality and parity in the workplace. All in attendance lauded the accomplishments of Tunisian women in all fields of expertise and the outstanding efforts of Tunisia’s civil society to guarantee parity and equality in education, social and political life and equal opportunities in the workplace.
