The National Union of Tunisian Women (Arabic: الاتحاد الوطني للمراة التونسية; French: Union Nationale de la Femme Tunisienne, UNFT) is a non-governmental organization in Tunisia founded in 1956.[1][2][3] The current UNFT president is Radhia Jerbi.[4][5]
The National Union of Tunisian Women was founded in 1956 by President Habib Bourguiba through the merge of the two previous women's organizations, Tunisian Union of Muslim Women (UMFT) and Union of Tunisian Women (UFT).[6] It was founded after the independence of Tunisia, which was followed by the introduction of women's suffrage and the secular Personal Status Code.
The UNFT worked to inform women of the new Code of Personal Statue, which was a very radical reform in favor or women's rights, considered the most progressive family law in the Middle East after the Turkish Law of 1926.[7]
The UNFT was also significant in raising awareness of family planning.[8]
