She works mainly on environmental justice and natural resources and is heavily involved in the feminist, intersectional anti-racist struggle.

She is a Tunisian jurist, advocate for environmental justice and activist who is engaged in feminist, anti-racist, intersectional activism. After the Tunisian Revolution (2011), she joined Mnemty (My Dream), an association that fights against all forms of discrimination, especially racial, and promotes unity, peace, and justice. She is a human rights expert and member of a radical feminist movement called Falgatna (We’re Fed Up), which defends queer and women’s rights and lobbies against sexual violence in Tunisia. In January 2020 she co-founded the collective “Voices of Black Tunisian Women” which offers them a safe space for self-expression. It is the first initiative that addresses issues affecting black women, gives voice to their experiences and promotes research about their social conditions.
