casualties it was the 3rd such incident inside a week and it comes at the peak of the important tourist season tourist season in which to nisha is hoping for a record number of visitors now the capital tunis is very much in need of an injection of tourist money and has a woman mayor who is trying to make the place more present to. the mayor of tunis is out on a site visit. he is in her element here she gives some instructions on the pavement she says needs to be widened by this much. and then it's off decision one of the city's poorest districts so out of that a ham is the 1st woman to hold such a position in the arab world and it's caused a sensation most people here just want to know what the mayor can do for them.
10:17 pm
but you wouldn't have it everyone here wants to have their say they want a permit an appointment and a new jobs at. least under the. this is where i learned about the real problems i think it's essential to listen to people that they put their faith in me and i want to respond to that and i. can move to be the focus. in an effort to curb the rapid growth of illegal trading stands the city has built a new covered market by renting a stand and the hall costs money and many say it's too expensive. no one's giving her a break for being a woman so one has to deliver the goods right through it so laid her on being a point but i would be happier if she could find work for my children to just hang out with around the streets all day that. are not a bit has been so she needs to focus more on districts like this this mean the law
10:18 pm
school here are excluded use that was going to school this is where the met should be doing homework when used with. tunis is tunisia's most populous city and it's growing even bigger. in the years since i've dead are him was elected she showed herself to be detail obsessed she even help select the appropriate street lighting . she's determined to focus on making practical chain. to waste disposal and to traffic and snow and she's aware that her appointment to the role is a quantum leap even for tunisians with a reputation for being tolerant and openminded it kids an on going oh of course i feel proud but the election campaign was not easy people repeatedly doubted whether a woman could really possess the skills needed to run this city i that that was the how most would have made you know. and on top of that the 54 year old represents tunisia's islamist party ennahda for many that's
10:19 pm
a contradiction in terms and the party is traditionally associated with men in beards not with a modern open minded woman who doesn't even wear a headscarf and was there when i said. there are many prejudices about our party that was people think it wants women to stay at home and wear veil but my message is that's just not true that would most would definitely have none of that features in a not as party platform what if you know what the hell has that however tunisia's civil society has mixed feelings about its 1st female mayor in front of the city court lawyer 5 to oprah hom tells us she mistrusts islamic and not a party and they have distanced itself from political islam and rebranded itself as muslim democratic but she still has strong doubts. but only you know that. it's just a fuss said in the party and is to miss in general in tunisia a very intelligent choice a woman without
10:20 pm
a veil to fool us into thinking that they are progressive open minded party overall . the on a tour of the medina. tells us she's used to such criticism of the man from both sides i mean even conservative voters are skeptical about a report meant this one. and doesn't like the way the mayor doesn't wear veils if she perhaps not read the koran that's what is clear she says it's a matter of individual choice. that's what. the development is something of a balancing act for the ennahda party in public the party clearly wants to present a worldly face its position is that religion is a private matter with such views and our hopes it will be able to attract constituencies that are usually suspicious of islamists and islam c.f.c.
10:21 pm
little islam was a response to the dictatorship in tunisia. now we're reacting to democratic change in our country. that's why we're separating politics and religion that's why we now have democratic islam. there him overlooks the city from her desk it seems a fitting symbol of her position she's often told she is just a token woman for the party but she's determined to convince people otherwise by focusing on concrete political action. she knows she's already made the history books. and you will miss eunice has become an example for tunisian women and for all arab women. we've shown that women can be politically involved in society. well you missed them. and then she's off to her next site visit back in her element
