- Abstract
- On October 23, 2011, Ennahda wins Tunisia's first free democratic elections. Ennahda is an Islamist party that was publicly acknowledged only after the ruling dictator was overthrown. Media has been talking about the revolution in Tunisia as the citizen's liberation, but after the election the discussion is about women's future.

The purpose of this analyze is to examine the current debate around the concept of complementarity. My main question is; how and why do the definitions of the concept of equality differ in the tunisian debate?
The thesis has been carried out using discussion-analytical tools with material in the form of blog posts, excerpts from interviews and opinion articles. The analysis of the debate results in two different definitions of equality. By web-activists arguments about equality together with hegemonic feminism I reach a definition of equality based on universal human rights. The argument from Monica Marks representing Ennahda, in conjunction with the theory of equity has formed a definition of equality based on women and men's complementary roles. By examining the debate from a post-colonial feminist perspective I reach the conclusion that the perception of equality is highly context-dependent and may vary without necessarily conflict with international agreements.
