Selima Abbou.
Business woman and founding member and president of the NGO Touensa. Touensa aims to increase political awareness and literacy in all areas of Tunisian society. Its citizen buses traveled all over Tunisia and educated about 200,000 people about politics, democracy and the elections in 2011. Selima believes in civil society having a very important role in building Tunisia due to political parties not having sufficient funding, not being well structured and being corrupted by power. In addition, she claims that many MPs in the Constituent Assembly lack expertise and experience. She would like successful Tunisian professionals who went to work abroad return to Tunisia to support and help the current government with vision, skill and expertise.
