The women keeping ONUCI on the road

"When I arrived at the mission, everyone was stunned," says UNV volunteer Vehicle Mechanic Julme Charles Elza. "They wanted to see how I would get along. They doubted my capability as a woman to perform 'difficult' tasks in the workshop. One day all the colleagues were amazed when my supervisor told me to go and tow a vehicle from Bouaké, about 370km from Abidjan. I went ahead without a moment's hesitation and the job was done perfectly… Sort of ironically, each time there's a mechanical problem that's a bit complex, men and women now ask me to help assess the situation and come up with an appropriate solution!"
