Several thousand new civil society organisations were legally
established in Tunisia following the 2010-11 uprising that forced
the long-serving dictator, Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, from office.
These organisations had different visions for a new Tunisia, and
divisive issues such as the status of women, homosexuality, and
human rights became highly contested. For some actors, the
transition from authoritarian rule allowed them to have a strong
voice that was previously muted under the former regimes. For
others, the conflicts that emerged between the different groups
brought new repressions and exclusions - this time not from the
regime, but from 'civil society'. Vulnerable populations and the
organisations working with them soon found themselves operating on
uncertain terrain, where providing support to marginalised and
routinely criminalised communities brought unexpected challenges.
Here, Edwige Fortier explores this remarkable period of
transformation and the effects of opening up public space in this
way.
