Course in Petare teaches women basic motorcycle mechanics

epa11561706 Women participate in a basic motorcycle mechanics course in Petare, the largest suburb in Caracas, Venezuela, 18 June 2024 (issued 23 August 2024). Twelve women - including students and mothers - have signed up for the workshop, organized by the NGO Fundana and taught by a female automotive technician, to learn about motorcycle mechanics and the maintenance of their vehicles that they could afford as a means of personal transportation. Women are increasingly choosing to ride motorcycles in Caracas, characterized by high motorcycle traffic, but the topic is still largely male-oriented in the country. Fundana carries out this workshop and other projects that seek to give tools to women in different trades - such as carpentry - also to promote gender equality, always with a component of personal development to enhance their own skills. As more women are entering this space with their motorcycles every day it is now more necessary than ever to know mechanics, students and organizers of the course say.
