Ghada: policewoman of the village of Betroumine || Articles || Newspapers (Arabic)

Ghada Shafik al-Khoury is the policewoman of the village of Betroumine in Al-Koura. She is the first policewoman in Al-Koura since 2000. She applied for the job and succeeded in the tests. She started her job despite the dismay of the village because she is a woman who joined this field. They considered that this action is a challenge on men in the context of the patriarchal society that preserves men’s statute and roles. However, the complaints soon regressed because the people came to realize Ghada’s high competence, which was the reason why she got the position. A young man from the village had applied first but he did not pass the test.
