Tunisia's women's ministry said on Saturday it would come up with a plan to counter the growing number of women travelling to Syria to wage so-called "sex jihad" by comforting militants.
"The ministry intends to boost its cooperation with both Government and non-Government bodies on this issue to come up with appropriate ways to thwart the plans of those who encourage such practices," a ministry statement said. "The ministry will work to introduce a plan of information, sensitivity and education targeting women and families everywhere to warn them of the seriousness of these practices," it said.
