Abstract
By investigating the juxtaposition of both legal systems, Islamic law and International human rights law, on protecting women's rights, the paper aims to examine how Islamic feminists seek conformation and justice by creating their own wave of feminism from their own faith tradition, in an attempt to create an incorporating space for Muslim women to protect their identities and their faith. To bridge theory and practice together, the paper will then examine the Tunisian experience, and its recent reforms, as an illustrative case to assess whether the contemporary aspirations of Islamic feminists can prove compatibility between Islamic law reform and International universal human rights.
