Tunisia's parliament on Wednesday passed a bill designed to"end all violence against women", strengthening protection and help for victims in a move welcomed by rights groups."It's a very moving moment and we are proud in Tunisia to have been able to gather around a historical project,"said women's minister Naziha Laabidi. The new law, which is expected to enter into force next year, recognises"physical, moral and sexual"violence, lawmaker Bochra Belhaj Hmida said. (AFP)
