The Tunisian Coalition for Equality in Inheritance, which is comprised of some 70 women's rights groups, mobilized hundreds of protesters for a demonstration on March 10 in front of the parliament to call for a law guaranteeing equal inheritance rights.
Held under the banner “Equality: A Right Not a Privilege,” the march marked a new direction in Tunisian women’s quest for equal treatment by taking their struggle to the streets in the hope of pressuring the president and members of parliament into passing a new law granting them equality in cases of inheritance.
