The Maghreb revolution through the women eyes project was born with the aim to give a different image of women in those countries. The project  was born, by personal demand, to try giving a real image of a feminine noun, woman, that in Maghreb countries is made up of millions of different shades. Nuances that the West continues to synthesize in a single way: The veiled woman. The woman locked up and segregated in the rules of Islam.

The woman who lives her freedom, in the only area granted her: their home. That home where millions of Maghreb women leave every day to go to work, university, court of law, office of the feminist associations, parties, street demonstrations or meetings on Human Rights. A home that was abandoned in crowd during the revolution of Tunisia and Egypt to take to the streets, to the squares of the neighbourhoods side by side with men.

Women, with or without veil. Muslim and atheist. Pensioners and students. Wives, mothers, grandmothers, widows, divorced, single. Communists, anarchists, Islamists. In a word, citizens of a country, that for too many years, 23 in Tunisia and over 40 in Egypt, denies freedom and rights, pursue, arrest, torture and kill without any distinction of sex. They are women. Women who took part in the revolution of Jasmine. A revolution that, not for coincidence, brings the name of a flower. A revolution that is not over in Tunisia and Egypt.

A revolution that set on fire all North Africa countries until Syria and Yemen. The Arab revolution such as has been named by media. A revolution in which women played and go on to play a key role. But who are the Arab women? And why in Europe when we think about Arab women, the first thing that comes to mind is the burkha, even for Tunisia, a country where during the last 23 years of regime were forbidden to the women wearing the hijab? We talk about Tunisia, a Maghreb country where women won equality in 1956. A country where women are more than men at the University, and not only at the liberal art faculties but also at engineering, physics or mathematics.  In Tunisia, women play a key role in society more than in the West. Women are national newspapers bossses, universities managers, research centres directors. It is not impossible to make a difference when someone becomes awareness of their rights and  in Tunisia actually there are at least three generation of women who are conscious of their rights.
