In Tunisia, more than 600,000 women work in agriculture across the country. Despite the important role of this industry in the Tunisian economy, there are limited regulations for workers—especially female workers—which has meant they’ve been subjected to physical, psychological, and financial abuse. These women, who are striving to establish economic stability for their families as well as provide food for their communities, also face the injustice that the laws in Tunisia created to protect them are not currently being enforced.
MG/ISMG launched an innovative project called “Advancing the Rights of Women Agriculture Workers” to apply social and behavior change (SBC) strategies to shift narratives and perceptions about these workers.
