In Takengon, Central Aceh, hundreds of women his back lifting heavy weights and hawking merchandise every early morning at a corner market. Dozens of women collide with dust and debris on the highway in the city this winter.

Everyday that passed Hasnah was buying vegetables at farmers who grow vegetables around their homes, from late afternoon until sunset. Quite often he looks for the vegetables to the neighboring villages that were located far enough. Normally he would bring the vegetables he had bought from farmers hold him by the shoulders.
That day, May 15, 2012, before sunset red sky as a witness, the figure bent over a sack weight should be brought home. Plus two white plastic bags filled with eggplant purple hanging right and left hands. Flip-flops that she wore collided with rough asphalt to produce the sound of friction on a deserted road.
Women who have been victims of domestic violence (domestic violence) by her husband (late) in 2005 and is claimed to have her work as retail vegetable vendors since he was divorced by her husband. "At that time, I really strongly feel crime by my husband. Since she divorced me, spending money children he was never given, even inheritance he gave did not conform with the laws and regulations. Since then I bring vegetables to the market for sale every morning to pay for my child's education and daily needs, "he said, recalling his heart scar.
He claimed to have a net income of uncertainty every day, ranging from 20 to 50 thousand sen. A number of value should he exchange by blocking off the morning chill and against ill-body bone ditulang rentanya for the sake of a word called life.
Hasnah mother does not have a large area to grow crops. That's why he had to go around the farmhouses around the residence.
Constraints faced Bu Hasnah since worked as a greengrocer is an unstable medical condition. It was a risk that should be readily accepted by all "the women in the morning" in the city this winter. Dawn wind that blows often biting him wince in pain ditulang feet.
When he sat with other women who sell vegetables, the best he had to give a smile to every buyer, hoping to sell his wares. Sometimes, occasionally, losing is the best option rather than not sell at all.
When the sun gets higher, dozens of officers Satpol-PP would put the horses to "act", and give "cue" noiseless that the strong women immediately rushed to clean up the rest of the merchandise and leave the road.
Bu Hasnah is one of hundreds of tough women in this cold country. They, the women, are being shown to the world that the cold air at dawn, not a barrier to stay alive. However, up until when they will be able to continue to survive and to block off the morning chill?
