Tunisia : Today we’re talking with Maha Jouini, author and activist. Aya and Maha talk about multiple battlefields including dance, history, cyber space, stigma and democracy. Maha explains how Pan-Arabism failed as a movement, how pre-colonial culture was matriarchal, how indigenous culture was feminist culture, how she overcome Tasfih (the practice of Locker to protect women's virginity) into sexual liberation. She also shares her aspiration for Tunisia’s democratic governance, death of Beji Caid Essebsi, LGBT rights in Tunisia and much more.
