Women working in various fields such as milking, feeding, sizing, grafting, cage cleaning, cage arrangement, and boat operation are highly appreciated by the community.Gulhan Yilmaz, one of the employees at the facility, said that seven years ago, when she started this job, people around her criticised her with reasons like"it is a tough job for women," and"working on the water surface is dangerous.
She pointed out that working in the water can be risky for those who do not know how to swim, but they eliminate this risk by using life jackets.Among the 120 individuals working at the facility located on the Euphrates River, 30 of them are female employees.Serpil Saglam, who has been working in this sector for about 8 years upon a friend's suggestion, says,"We do all the work in the field with our female colleagues. When necessary, we drive our boat and throw the feed.
Cigdem Cosansel, the facility's manager and aquatic products engineer, stated that their annual production of 13,000 tons of Turkish salmon and trout is in great demand from European and Far Eastern countries due to its taste.The canyons and banks of the Euphrates River are becoming new favourite destinations for tourists.
