"In the morning, I start with the gardening. And I've discovered I still know how to crochet"

"It's not very feminist of me but I've realised it's a pleasure and not an obligation. Today men are sewing and cooking, we can't have complexes about these things. If it's done for pleasure, it's a luxury"

"Our parents taught us rigor."

"And to never think something is due for us, to always deserve what we wanted."

"I always finish my battles."

"I was marked by feminism even before I discovered its principles."

"I had a very strong mother and I learned from both my parents’ intellectual rigour, to have the courage of my convictions and to speak the truth."

"I will leave politics when I leave life."

"There is a clear change in the mentality of Tunisians, who now trust women, and now accept that the country could be led for the first time by a female president."

"A researcher recently told me that young women interested in politics in Tunisia consider me to be a role model. It’s a heavy responsibility! I want young women to believe that they have capacities. I always tell them, when you have an opinion, give it; don’t be shy. I also tell them never to settle for second or third place when they can be first."

"I want the African Women’s Leaders Network to give visibility to women leaders across Africa. I want us to share and empower each other. Women have to be at the heart of the Africa of tomorrow."

"Women in politics are still women. We can laugh and be joyful and still be in politics. We do not want to be like men, we want to be ourselves and still engage effectively in politics"

"It is from the history of science that I was led to deepen my knowledge of religions, particularly Islam. I was not a priori versed in theological questions. What interests me is our relationship to modernity and the question of secularization. I immersed myself in the writings of modern thinkers from Islamic countries, who look at Islam from a scientific perspective without any essentialism."

"Inheritance legislation is therefore contrary to the principle of equality and represents a fundamental issue for the defence of women's rights. This is obviously not the only source of inequality."

"I work for the autonomy of science, to free it from ideological discourses that are a source of blockage. If science has progressed in the West, it is by detaching itself from the religious sphere. The Muslim nations that have fallen so far behind need to take a leap forward."

"Today, I would love that everyone could freely use their conscience, benefit from knowledge that is universal, and not “Western” as it is sometimes called. I hope to encourage readers to revisit the history of science in the lands of Islam and to discover critical thinking."

"My personal challenge has been to push women in this congress. The president of Tunisia affirmed his commitment to double the number of women in the congress of the Constitutional Democratic Rally. In the recent elections, if there was a list of five to seven candidates, we were obliged to vote for at least one woman."

"when a man is elected ,he wants to be in charge ,he doesn't feel the need to move his chair .when a woman enters the political field ,if she is asked to go to the rural villages ,she does it ."

"We are not a bomb to be defused. We are a dynamic force for progress that no one can stop."
