UN Women Tunisia Starts Rural Women Campaign
The United Nations Women Office in Tunisia, in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the Food and Agriculture Organization, launched a advocacy campaign to support women's empowerment in rural areas. The campaign will run for 15 days, from October 12 to October 27, 2026, focusing on amplifying the voices of women working in the agricultural sector, highlighting their working conditions and the violations they face. Field visits are organized in the provinces of Jendouba and Kairouan, including direct interviews with women and civil activists. Data indicates that women constitute 35% of the rural population and 75% of agricultural workers, yet they earn less than half of men's wages, and their social coverage covers only 12%. This underscores the need to strengthen their rights and demands through the media.
