This video is the last in a short series by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and Centre for Social Sciences Research and Action (CeSSRA) that aims to shed light on the multiple challenges agricultural workers and farmers in Lebanon face throughout their lives.
Meet Aline Tannous, a Lebanese farmer from Hardeen in the Batroun district. Together with her husband, she cultivates a rented piece of land, growing seasonal crops.
In this video, Aline discusses the challenges she faces in accessing healthcare and the implications of her lack of social security coverage. She also highlights the difficulties of making ends meet as a farmer in Lebanon, including the recent effects of climate change, which are destroying her crops. These challenges compel her to work as a housekeeper in her village to earn additional income.
