Women in Tunisia's agriculture sector continue to face serious risks, leading to injuries and deaths, as a result of unsafe transportation to their workplaces. Every year women workers in the agriculture suffer many traffic accidents.

A woman workers appears in the Video describes a deadly accident where 35 women fell off the vehicle when the door flung open and all the women fell through. "Some died, some sustained broken bones or injuries, with other were unscathed", the worker says.

More than 500,000 women work in the agriculture sector in Tunisia, 99% of whom do not benefit from social security, health insurance and labour law protections.

Between 2016 and 2020, the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights recorded 40 deaths and 530 injuries among women rural workers as a result of the dangerous and unregulated transportation conditions.

Resolving the transport predicament is not only limited to hazardous transport conditions but also entangled to systematic gender inequities and externally imposed austerity.
