Invisible Labor: Tunisian Women's Struggle

Thousands of Tunisian rural women wake up before sunrise every single day to work in olive

groves that feed entire communities. They harvest olives by hand under the scorching sun,

earning less than minimum wage with zero social protection. These women are the backbone of

Tunisia's olive oil industry, yet they remain invisible. No contracts,

no healthcare, no recognition. They work from dawn until their hands bleed,

supporting families while being denied basic labor rights. Their children often can't afford school

supplies despite their mothers working twelve hour days. This isn't just about agriculture.

It's about an entire system that profits from their labor while keeping them in poverty.
