The Women of Roque Santeiro

Roque Santeiro is the largest open-air market in Angola and one of the largest on the African continent. If you know where to look, you can find whatever you want in Roque's sprawling stands. Women run most of the businesses here and in this video they speak up to protest against the government's decision to relocate the market outside the metropolitan area. The new market will have refrigerated warehouses and stylish restaurants but most of Roque's vendors will not be able go. One woman stated somberly: "Food, clothes, the money to send our children to school... it all comes from Roque. The whole family depends on our work here. I know Roque is going to close but in my heart it just doesn't feel right."

epa o problema e que ai nao tem condicao neccesaria para vender. e preciso um sitio fechado onde, que os fiscais possa trabalhar a vontade. essa pessoa nao sabem que no centro da cidade nao se faz esse tipos de vendas e que o governo tem que contruir mais bairros... a unica saida tinha mesmo que ser o abandono do local
