When Suni Hembraam's husband was injured, she had to find ways to survive as she lacked mentors, training programs, or any social support. She was left only with providing food for her family using skills she mastered independently, tire by tire.
Today, she independently runs a roadside auto repair shop. Suni lifts cargo tires weighing from 40 to 60 kg, works with heavy equipment, and labors under a physically demanding schedule that most people avoid. In a field almost entirely closed to women, she did not wait for permission.
Not only has her family's situation changed. People who previously told her it was 'not a woman's job' now watch her work in silence. This story illustrates the difficulties no one should face and demonstrates a shift in the entire village's perception of a woman's capabilities.
