Sidi Bouzid hosts seminar on female farm worker safety
A seminar was organized in Sidi Bouzid to discuss the situation of female agricultural workers, with a focus on unsafe transportation, occupational safety, and social protection. It was emphasized that female farm workers face precarious working conditions, especially during transportation using inadequate means, which exposes them to serious risks, including tragic accidents such as the Siliana incident in 2019 that killed 12 workers, and the Mzouna accident in 2026 that resulted in the death of three workers and injury to 12 others. Although laws such as Law No. 51 of 2019 and Decree No. 4 of 2024, which regulate the transportation of female workers and protect their rights, have been issued, their enforcement faces challenges, and social protection remains insufficient. The aim of the seminar is to assess the implementation of these laws, improve transportation, safety, and occupational health conditions, through dialogue among various stakeholders including authorities, professionals, and human rights organizations, to develop practical solutions to reduce risks and strengthen the rights of female workers in the agricultural sector.
