Tunisia opens first shelter for abused men

hhhhhhhhhh


Tunisia opened its first shelter for abused husbands, a Tunisian magazine reported Wednesday.The initiative was led by Al-Arabi Ben Ali Al-Faytouri, a prominent civil rights advocate, the weekly magazine Al-Moulahedh reported."Some women find pleasure in abusing their husbands…It's new to the society," Faytouri told the magazine.Faytouri dedicated a plot of land in the northern part of the country to men who leave their homes after suffering violence or ill-treatment at the hands of their wives.

A study by the National Office of Family and Population revealed last Monday that the structure of the Tunisian family has undergone radical changes, with the man no longer being the main provider for the family.
