Azza Ghanmi

Azza Ghanmi is a Tunisian feminist and activist engaged in the advancement of women's rights in Tunisia.

In 1978, Ghanmi was a co-founder of Club d’Etude de la Condition de la Femme at the Club Tahar Haddad.[1] Then, in 1985, she became a founding member of Nissa a small association of women, from diverse backgrounds, who published a feminist magazine of the same name, between 1985 and 1987.[2] In her advocacy, Ghanmi aligns with the l’Association des Femmes Africaines pour la Recherche et le Développement (AFARD) [3] / Association of African Women for Research and Development (AAWORD). She also promotes Tunisia's compliance with the International Convention for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), to which Tunisia became a signatory in 1985.[4][5] In 1993, Ghanmi published Le Mouvement Féministe Tunisien, a chronological record and commentary on events of the Tunisian feminist movement of the 1980s.
