Gender identity and violence: from the unsaid to the “unknown” (ça-voir)
Ammar, Wafa
Gender identity and violence: from the unsaid to the “unknown” (ça-voir) - 2024.
42
Although Tunisia is striving to promote human rights, society remains riven by exclusion and stigmatising discourse, while people belonging to the LGBT community continue to suffer degrading treatment. They are exposed to a rejectionist system that places them on the margins and justifies their continued social invisibility and illegitimacy. On the basis of a qualitative analysis of the discourse of people affected by gender diversity, receiving therapeutic care and frequenting the Tunisian association network, the authors discuss the law of silence associated with these abusive social systems. The strategies developed by homosexuals in the face of the violence they have suffered interrupt this unsaid condition and become apparent through despondency and introversion and/or revolt, protest and militancy.
