\"Female<\/a><\/p>\n

Female firefighter Dilara Karabulut with her team at work at traffic accident in Sisli district, Istanbul, Turkey, 04 October 2021. The historic 100-year-old firefighting department in Istanbul, since the summer, has welcomed women in Turkey, a majority Muslim country ruled by the Islamic conservative AKP, to its ranks. \u201cWhen I grow up I want to be a firefighter\u201d was not something any of these 37 women ever said when they were girls. Even though there have been female firefighters in some towns since 1988, seeing a woman wielding an axe and hose in Turkey is still extremely rare. \u201cIt’s not considered a woman’s job, but since I was little I used to do things that are seen as boys’ jobs, so my family didn’t see anything unusual about it\u201d, says Ceyda Cirik, 22, at the fire station in Basaksehir, a suburb of Istanbul. She has just returned from an operation in a burned-out factory, along with her colleagues Esra \u00dccler and R\u00fcveyda T\u00f6s. The three of them are part of a team with about 10 men who, after initially viewing the new recruits with suspicion, soon got used to the novelty. Being a firefighter has a long tradition in Istanbul, which was formerly built almost entirely of wood. The volunteer fire departments, the so-called ‘tulumbacilar’ of the 18th and 19th centuries, with their iconic uniform of jacket, stilts and sash, became an image of masculinity and courage. The offer of 50 vacancies for female firefighters \u2013 37 of which only could be filled, as not all candidates passed the exams and physical tests \u2013 is quite the political statement from the Istanbul mayor’s office, which since 2019 has been in the hands of the social democratic CHP party, the AKP’s main rival.

Boji, an Istanbul street dog rides Kadikoy’s historic tram on October 21, 2021 in Istanbul, Turkey. Boji, is a regular Istanbul commuter, using the cities public transport systems to get around, some times traveling up to 30 kilometers a day using subway trains, ferries, buses and Istanbuls historic trams. Since noticing the dogs movements the Istanbul Municipality officials began tracking his commutes via a microchip and a phone app. Most day’s he will pass through at least 29 metro stations and take at least two ferry rides. He has learnt how and where to get on and off the trains and ferries. As people began to notice him as a regular on their daily travel routes and since the tracking app begun Boji’s travels have made him an internet sensation.
