70-group women's coalition joins call for Oct. 17 national march over jobs, violence and rights
The Assemblée des femmes, which says it represents more than 70 Tunisian women's-rights associations, called on Tuesday for its members to join Saturday's national march from Place Mohamed Ali in Tunis, citing rising unemployment, violence against women and farm workers, and a rise in prosecutions over people's opinions. The march, already called for September 29 by several national organisations and eight opposition parties, is set to start at 11am.
