Shamsiya and her colleagues in the mechanic garage were put together by Nana Girls and Women Empowerment Initiative, which is run by Fatimah Adamu, an associate professor of gender studies in the department of sociology, Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto.
Adamu, a passionate advocate of women’s rights and empowerment, says the rise of female car ownership in Sokoto partly birthed the initiative.
She said: “We have so many women owning cars, we realised that some women who are working cannot take their vehicle for repair because there is the feeling that the place is not conducive for women. It’s a male environment. So, she would rather have to rely on her brother, son, or husband to take it for her. But I said that shouldn’t be the case, so we came up with the female mechanic initiative.”
