the women have a history and they all have families they need to take care of. this wholesaler says that most of the men have got used to seeing women working here and he also praises fatma she's a good person he says and she can haggle almost as well as a man. so. the market where my works is popular with locals and more and more men are now buying their groceries from the female vendors. it seems male customers a few reservations than male vendors. it's all very clean it's a nice market and above all it's quiet. the female vendors treat us very respectfully i have to say they're much nicer than male vendors i. doubt she would have got back on her feet as soon as she did without the job here spending time
