VOICED : Tunisian homosexuals defy social stigma and violence

The video discusses the challenges faced by Mehdi, a gay high school student in Tunisia, where homosexuality is criminalized. It highlights the double life led by homosexuals due to societal and legal pressures, including the threat of violence and imprisonment. The video also covers the growing public debate on homosexuality, driven by NGOs like Shams, which advocate for the repeal of oppressive laws such as Article 230. Despite these discussions, deeply rooted sociocultural and religious constraints continue to hinder legal reforms, making actual change a distant prospect.
