Moi Président(e)... Fatima-Ezzahra Benomar: 'I Would Abolish Article 49.3'

Tunisian activist Fatima-Ezzahra Benomar, fighting against social inequalities, advocates a radical program to transform the structures that perpetuate disparities. In a recent interview, she stated that abolishing prison is an essential measure to break cycles of marginalization. According to her, the current penal system only exacerbates inequalities by imprisoning populations already facing discrimination. She proposes replacing punitive measures with more humane and structured solutions. In a context marked by job precarity and difficulties in accessing housing, Fatima-Ezzahra Benomar points to the economic mechanisms that worsen disparities. She cites notably real estate rent and the absence of targeted social policies as major factors in the social crisis. According to her, without a deep change in approach, inequalities cannot be reduced. Her reform project aims to rebalance resources to promote a more inclusive development. The activist insists that solutions must be global and based on concrete measures. She denounces half-measures that, according to her, only maintain the status quo. Her discourse reflects a desire to mobilize Tunisians around an alternative vision of society.
