Revolution and Youth Day is observed in Tunisia on January 14, commemorating the Tunisian Revolution, also known as the Jasmine Revolution, which began on December 18, 2010, and culminated with the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali on January 14, 2011. This public holiday was established to honor the youth who played a significant role in the protests, which were sparked by the self-immolation of street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi in protest of police actions. The protests highlighted issues such as poor living conditions, unemployment, and lack of political freedoms. Although the holiday was initially celebrated on January 14, it was moved to December 17 in 2021 to mark the anniversary of Bouazizi's act that ignited the revolution. The day serves as a reminder of the struggles for a better future and the impact of youth activism in Tunisia.
