Nominations for Souad Abderrahim Mayor of Tunis (Tunesia) Nominated by Yasser G., Tunis: Je vote la mairesse de Tunis pour son engagement pur les droits de la ville et son militarisme pour les libertés . Elle est porteuse de projets . Une Maire déterminée et œuvre pour le changement ,crédible digne de confiance. Nominated by Bassem M., Tunis: I want to express my strong conviction to support Mayor Souad Abderrahim for the reward of the best world woman mayor. The reasons that lead me to support this mayor are: • She is issued from an Islamic political party (Ennahdha), nevertheless, she reflects the image of the modern and emancipated Tunisian women; • She participated in the elaboration of the constitution of the second republic (on behalf of its political party) • She succeeded to be the first women in the history of Tunisia that occupy the position of mayor; • She has a rehabilitation plan to erase the run-down buildings in the heart of the capital Tunis, so that the local authority can reshape a new architecture for the capital; • She is strongly defending clean mobility systems such as bio gas buses, bike (the municipality of Tunis is thinking about the implementation of cycling areas ) I hope that I succeeded to convince the jury of the pertinence of choosing Souad Abderrahim with the arguments aforementioned; Nominated by Rolf U., Cologne, Germany: I am voting for the Tunis Mayor Souad Abderrahim because I want to support especially women in an Islamic Country, which is going to be on a more liberal way. I am convinced, that she will successfully lead her City. Nominated by Mohamed K., Tunisia: I am sending you this email supporting the mayor of Tunis, Souad Abderrahim, the first female mayor of Tunisia's capital in 160 years. Souad Abderrahim is not like the past 32 mayors of this North African capital. They hailed from wealthy, influential families. And, oh, yes, they were all men. She’s a self-made businesswoman. They were political appointees. She was elected in the first-ever mayoral vote last month. Abderrahim has become that rarity in the Arab world: a woman holding a top elected position. Even in Tunisia, where women's rights are more advanced than in most other countries of North Africa and the Middle East, her rise is widely seen as a breakthrough for women and has renewed hopes for greater gender parity. Abderrahim’s victory reflects a gradual shift in attitudes toward women in the Arab world. Saudi women were recently permitted to drive. In Lebanon and Jordan, laws that exonerated rapists if they married their victims were repealed last year, following Tunisia’s lead. In other ways, too, Abderrahim represents change. She’s the capital’s first mayor with a middle-class background and roots in the south of the country. Tunisia has long been ruled by wealthy northern elites. She’s also the capital’s first Islamist mayor, the candidate of a political party inspired by Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, which is viewed as an extremist group by some regional powers but moderate by others. At a time when the Brotherhood and its branches are under attack across the Middle East, Abderrahim’s ascension is widely seen by diplomats and analysts as an effort by her party - Ennahda. Nominated by Khaled S., Paris, France: I support Souad as she's the first women mayor for the capital of the country in Arabic and Africa world. She started her campaign and job in a very difficult circumstances and she was not sure to win. She afforded her political competitors and mainstream ideology that a women is not able to be a mayor. Other difficulty, the Tunis mayor's should be a part of the main religious events in the capital. An additional field reserved to men. A really change and a soft revolution in this part of the world. Please choose Souad. Nominated by IHEB, Tunis: I think Miss Souad Abderrahim should win the 2018 World Mayor Prize because she has implemented a lot of policies concerning the repair of the old town in Tunis and restored the safety of the city and reduced the number of assaults and burglaries drastically. In addition She's the first and hopefully not the last women to take on the role of a mayor in Tunis's history which proves how competent and hard working she is to dive in a field pre-dominated by males and succeed and that on it's own will make her our Mayor of the year especially for younger girls who'll take her as a role model. Nominated by Abdalla H., Tunis: I support the candidacy of Mayor2018 Mrs Souad Abdel-Rahim for the following reasons • Well educated • Elegant in appearance with simplicity • Polite in her talk • Moderate in her political and social positions • Humanitarian in her feelings • She is active in her work • Modest in her relations • Have the ability to communicate enabled them to overcome many obstacles, including: As a woman who is new to politics and wins against a man who is supported by a political party that governs the country, including the president, the prime minister and the speaker of parliament • She becomes mayor of the capital city although women have very limited presence in the leadership of professional organizations, trade unions and political parties • She is not a resident of the capital while most of her predecessors were from this city • Despite her progressiveness, she managed to convince the Conservatives to vote for her Nominated by Bilel B.
