Hand in hand, Saudi women work with men in a car repair shop in Jeddah. Skillful girls have known their way to this craft, which for long periods has been the preserve of men, and they have shown tremendous abilities to carry out maintenance, dismantling and installation work inside the Petromin Express workshop.
The young mechanics confirmed that the first months in the job were not easy, and that they faced many challenges. Ghada Ahmed, one of the girls working in the workshop, says that an old man came with his car, and said that he did not want “mechanics,” preferring to deal with a man.
And she continued with joy. The situation did not continue like this. A while ago, another man came and told us: I am very proud of you. You are our honor. You are a crown on our heads.
