In for migrants your platform for reliable information. When is it getting into nisha there is still a patriarchal mentality especially in certain positions linked to power if you. Souad abderrahim is the mayor of tunis. And the first woman to become mayor of a capital city in the arab world this is caused a small sensation. There are many issues to tackle in tunis
for example constant traffic jams and problems with Waste Collection. And its not going to be easy for the new mayor but shes determined to prove that she can rise to the challenge. Is going to assume he is visiting a Construction Site in tunis his old city. Shes come to make sure everything is going to plan. The goal is to give this part of babs wake a make over an attempt to alleviate the traffic jams trying to get a cleaner down the mayor has a very clear ideas i guess its going to happen but no and we said that we would
create a sidewalk in the middle it was then lamps and thats what i remember. Is that once the work is over the hope is that there will be less traffic congestion. To the east. But traffic is not the only problem. And i have been in there i want you to expand the surface but keep the old lamps that we cant exchange all of them i never know again as i dont want to go to into the plan they have to be exchanged has been posted. And if. There are simply too many cars in tunis and not only in the old town the mayor hopes that these Reconstruction Measures will relieve at least some of the congestion. But there are still abderrahim who is fifty four is married with two children. She
studied pharmacy now she has to focus on Building Sites and traffic flows but shes a politician its her job to delve into new subjects quickly she likes leaving the office and meeting the inhabitants of tunis. Here and when im in may then you can if you stay in contact through this kind of visit we can see directly how a project is developing there is communication with people that was in our capital is the inhabitants the tunisian people were speaking to them trying to solve their problems thats our duty its not a favor that were doing them. Its nice to walk through the city to see boats wake up. But but this is not just a relaxing walk shes meeting locals talking about their problems on the next corner a discussion breaks out with sanitation workers. I know. We dont have Equipment Material all machines our colleague here knows it to. Be in the middle
and you know if thats the move there and going to have another Garbage Trucks and there isnt enough stuff in the bin you get why you had employed one hundred people straight away but im not allowed to i need permission you know that the way to say have tripled since the revolution there isnt any money we need projects that generate money and then we can employ more people and create better working conditions and. What we have so few rights coming up you have trade unions that defend your rights we sit down with them every day with all e. U. Money and we met the trade unions and they got everything that they wanted to. Ask them what if i will. Waste management is also a major problem in tunis. The garbage just piles up and is not always collected leftist. Best. You want to sue out
abderrahim continues her rounds with a visit to a Garbage Collection Point she says that the city doesnt have enough money or employees to set up a more efficient Waste Collection service at the moment. And she knows that locals are at the end of their tether. From that would it be from the news but many are angry but they say there has been some improvement. They say that some places have become cleaner while others have become dirtier than is this. The lack of staff and the logistics means that we cant serve every street in tunis well if you could home methods you. So whats a solution she would like to introduce more recycling and work with private investors but before this is possible the laws have to be amended and this could take some time. A bit further on some locals complained to her about
electricity. There was a power cut recently and. She promises that shell deal with the issues. The flawed infrastructure is the biggest challenge for tunis and the mayor. Another traffic jam. To his town hall is located away from the hustle and bustle of the old town. Over the past One Hundred Fifty years the mayor has always been nominated. Abderrahim is the first person to be elected to the position. And the first woman mayor ever had the mop and im not even though we have relatively progressive laws and equal rights are anchored in law equal opportunities for men and women still dont exist. There is still
a patriarchal mentality especially in certain positions linked to power if you will as if men had a lease on power as if they had a lease on public administration. Abderrahim is the first person in tunis to be called shaker the female equivalent of shake an Honorific Title in arabic. But the new mayor who ran on a ticket for the conservative muslim enough party has been the target of criticism from the very beginning. Some say she is being instrumental ised by the islamist party. Others have openly expressed their doubts that a woman can do the job. Yet others have criticized the fact that she is an outsider not from one of the elite families of tunis who in the past filled the role. You havent looked upon that. We have reached
some tough bob weve broken with traditions that had to come along the mood. When i won the election people claims false things about me. When i coached and what they said reflects profoundly about the psyche of these critics of men and. Womens rights activist leyla shelby is glad that there is a woman in tonights town hall. However she says that the end of the party is actually against equal rights for men and women she says theyre only trying to give themselves a more modern image with abderrahim furthermore she says that she has yet to form an opinion because she has not seen anything concrete yet. Forthcoming has a new medium to do and we want to see her do something for tunis the city is the face of the country but its in a terrible state from all Points Of View Cleanliness the environment there are many
problems. We dont even want her to campaign more for Womens Rights we dont want to burden her first well see what she does an office which is why she was elected and then well hold her to account on equal opportunities. So far she hasnt done a thing. But here on avenue have the board be back in the middle of the city opinion about the shake is largely positive even though nobody can say whether the situation has really improved since her election. Were proud that there is a female mayor a shake up people are saying that makes me proud to show love on it from what i understand in the news there hasnt been anything negative about her shes just doing her job like anyone else regardless of whether theyre a man or woman when i came out there. If you went on that it would them as it was her she hasnt been in power for long shes now entering the Battle The Big War is
the tenacious franchise the situation is very critical. Yet another meeting here she is with various mayors from other tunisian towns. Most of them are men of course. But there are a few female faces twenty percent of marriages in tunisia are now women since the last elections in may. The shake thinks this is a sign a victory for tunisian women. May one who would insist doesnt what counts is performance whether someone is a man or woman but at the moment im giving a lot of support to female mayors so that they can achieve success in office and the. Women in tunisia have more rights than those in other parts of the arab world
after the Two Thousand And Eleven revolution more laws were introduced to promote equal opportunities yet there is still plenty to be done. At the moment there is a huge debate about Inheritance Laws and ensuring that men and women are equal. After work the mare and her staff go for another walk on the square not far away is the prime ministers official residence abderrahim has been in politics since Two Thousand And Eleven. She was originally planning to stand in next years parliamentary elections but instead she ran for mayor and won. Theres speculation that she could become tunisias first female president. Head this ellen its too early to say im not even thinking about that at the moment ive called a lot of. Responsibility for the next five years. Hopefully well be able to implement
projects that are appropriate for the capital and for the woman going down in history as the capitals first female mayor at that time. But at the. End so for him theres a lot at stake now she has to prove herself as mayor whether shes done her job well the citizens will vote on this in five years time. If youre sitting here sitting at the top. Whether on an ancient throne or a modern Executive Chair the design is similar. There has to be a high back. And wide seat. Design museum in southern germany
