This restaurant in Gaza is run entirely by women and serves an all-female clientele
Opened last month and offering light meals like chicken sandwiches and pizza, "Sabaia VIP" has been doing brisk business in a conservative and congested enclave where some women complain of lacking private and safe leisure venues.
The chef, Amena Al-Hayek, trained at a hotel restaurant where she worked for free. Although there were openings there for new chefs, she was never considered."The administration rejected . They said they wanted a male chef, not a female," Hayek told Reuters.A Palestinian waitress work at the newly-opened women-only restaurant, called Sabaia VIP, in Gaza City September 6, 2022.
"The idea stemmed from our need to have something private, where we can enjoy our independence and our privacy, a place only for women," said the owner, Reham Hamouda. Hamouda employs eight women on staff and others who prepare food from their homes. That provides much-needed income in Gaza, where unemployment hovers around 50%.
"We proved to the world that we were able to open a restaurant and succeed without a man's supervision," said Hayek.Writing by Nidal Almughrabi, editing by Ed Osmond
