AbstractA street vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in protest after a police officer seized his cart and produce. This embarked a set of social Unrest and demonstrations across Tunisia and the events rapidly exceeded Tunisia to many other Arab Countries. Now, more than six years after the start of uprisings in Arab States, Tunisia is almost the only country that emerged as a democratic state. The country witnessed a more or less gradual democratic process of transitional and legally elected governments after 2011 developments. Yet, debates remain about Women’s role and status in the Tunisian society. The article thus, tries to examine the possible relationship between two socio-political factors; 2011 uprising in Tunisia and its consequent developments as an independent factor and Tunisian women’s socio-political status as the dependent factor. In this regard, Michel Foucault's approach to power was chosen as a theoretical framework of the survey. The research results reject radical changes in women’s social status after 2011 developments in Tunisia.Keywords: Arab Spring, Feminism, Islamism, Power, Secularism, Social Participation.

Uprising and Tunisian Women’s Socio-Political Status 2011 Fatemeh Radan 1 Assistant Professor of Social Sciences, Payame Noor University, Iran Abstract A street vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in protest after a police officer seized his cart and products.
For decades the status has been a showcase for successive Tunisian governments, a forceful argument at election time for President Ben Ali, and an often-used alibi by the authorities when European countries and NGOs challenge the regime about human rights and freedom of the press.
During the period of the Troika Government, Tunisian Women continued to fight in the political platforms to maintain their personal status and rights both in legislative and pragmatic era, especially they insisted on political participation, by demanding that women be leaders in political parties and at the top of electoral lists, and assuming high positions and responsibilities in the state.
(View the image of this page) Tunisian Women contributed significantly to the drafting of Tunisia's new constitution and the principle of gender equality in the Constitution, which confirms that "the State is committed to protecting women's acquired rights, supporting their gains and works for their development.
Islamists and Women’s Social Participation in Tunisia On the Islamist side, Al-Nahdha Party, in its founding years, criticized the status of women, especially in the West.
Conclusion The history of Tunisia over the past half century has witnessed a special experience in the Arab world regarding women's participation in Social and political affairs and developments.
