The two Muslim women in headscarves pull out weeds from between chardonnay vines at a vineyard in north eastern Tunisia.
They say that their faith is no barrier to doing their job.
“What else can we do? There is no other work,” says one of the women.
“We don’t drink in our family,” adds her friend. “But everyone should decide for themselves.”
The two women continue to tend the rows of budding vines under a bright blue sky. But this picturesque scene is sadly no longer the sort of image that springs to mind at the mention of Tunisia.
