ZUHÛR EL-MEŞRIQÎ

Tunisia- National Women's Day is celebrated in Tunisia every year on August 13 to commemorate the day of adoption of the Code of Personal Status in Tunisia, on August 13, 1956, the year of independence in Tunisia. 11 Tunisian women departed from Oum El Araies region of Tunisia’s Gafsa governorate on August 14 to the capital in order to draw attention to women’s rights in the country and make their voices heard.

The women keep walking despite the hot weather, the blisters, and wounds on their feet. The women march to protest women's poverty and their inability to reach even their basic needs. The picture of their feet shows how they are determined to make their voices heard.
