These slogans included "Free Palestine, Zionist out", "No compromise, no negotiations", "United women against all backsliding" and "Boycott, boycott, resist, resist".This march comes in response to the call for a global strike for Gaza to protest against the ongoing genocide by the Zionist occupation.President of the Tunisian Association of Democratic Wo men, Neila Zoghlami, was among the demonstrators expressing solidarity with Palestinian women, saying that this march was "the least the Tunisian people can do to support the Palestinian cause and break the wall of silence".According to the latest UN figures, nearly 9,000 Palestinian women have been killed since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza on 7 October, with many more buried under the rubble.Up to 95% of pregnant and lactating women face severe malnutrition and over 690,000 women and girls who are menstruating have limited access to menstrual hygiene products, while around 37 mothers are killed every day.Source: Agence Tunis Afrique Presse
