A recent incident in the Kasserine region of Tunisia has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation. Four female teachers residing in the border town of Bou Driassa, in the delegation of Foussana, were victims of an attempted harassment. According to reports, a young man, suspected of being under the influence of narcotics, climbed the wall of their home and attempted to break in. The incident has left the teachers and local community in shock and fear.
The incident occurred on the night of Monday to Tuesday, and the teachers, who work at a school in the Abd al-Aziz area of Frianah, were forced to return to their families in Sbeitla. Due to the lack of official housing, the teachers had rented a house in Bou Driassa, which is the closest point to their workplace.
