National Women's Day in Tunisia: Celebrating Female Entrepreneurs
Every year, August 13th marks National Women's Day in Tunisia, a symbolic date that commemorates the adoption of the Personal Status Code on August 13, 1956, shortly after the country's independence.
Our magazine, Managers, attaches great importance to celebrating women. In 2015, we launched the ambitious project "Women Entrepreneurs of Tunisia" (FET), aimed at highlighting those who significantly contribute to the national economy. By showcasing their achievements and sharing their journeys, we hope to inspire a new generation of female leaders and encourage more investments in women-led businesses.
Each year since then, FET has organized an event to celebrate Tunisian women who have distinguished themselves through their creativity, resilience, and the impact of their projects in their respective fields.
