Women's Labor Gave Life to the Soil: First Harvest at Çelebibağı Women's Urban Garden

The efforts of women were rewarded at the Çelebibağı Neighborhood Women's Urban Garden, established by Erciş Municipality to support women's active role in agricultural production. The 4,000 seedlings planted together with women at the opening have now turned into a bountiful harvest.

During the harvest conducted with our Co-Mayor Güler Temel and women in need, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, melons, and watermelons were collected, bringing hope and abundance to the tables.

The Women's Urban Garden has become an important step for women in solidarity, production, and economic empowerment, beyond just being a production area. Women who worked the soil with their own hands contributed to their own livelihoods and experienced the pride of having a say in production.

In her statement here, Co-Mayor Güler Temel said, "As women put labor into the soil, a strong transformation begins in their own lives and in society. This garden is one of the most concrete examples of women's production power."

Erciş Municipality will continue to support projects that will enhance women's power in production and make women's labor visible.
