Rahel Butros: A Strong Woman in ´Documentary of 33 Women´
The ´Documentary of 33 Women´ bringing together the entrepreneur and strong women of Hatay, including also Rahel Elvaşvili Butros, is getting ready to come to life as a rather sensational social responsibility project. October 13, 2021
Rahel Elvaşvili Butros
Journalist Ufuk Cavlı, the designer and producer of the 'Documentary of 33 Women' project, planned in order to highlight the strength and awareness of women, stated that the documentary would inspire young girls and women who have lost hope.
Rahel Butros who is taking part in the project as one of the strong women of Hatay, hand in hand with 50 volunteering and believing women, has started a project called 'Miss Arsuz' in the Arsuz district of Hatay, last year. Also supporting this project are District Governor Musa Sarı, Mayor Asaf Güven, their wives, and many more volunteers. In the project 'Miss Arsuz', Rahel Butros and the volunteers are working with all their might to keep Arsuz clean. Butros expressing that they are still working incessantly, is adding that their vision of life was love, respect, 'never saying never', always staying in balance, and believing in what you do.
Rahel Butros is revealing her thoughts about the 'Miss Arsuz' project enabling her to be included in the 'Documentary of 33 Women' project as follows:
"We are very happy that the 'Miss Arsuz' project has been shown as an example for Hatay. I guess this is the reason we were chosen to be included in the 'Documentary of 33 Women' Project.
Volunteers for 'Miss Arsuz' Project
Nature is everything. When pollution became an uncontrollable problem in Arsuz district, due to its population of 90,000 in winter and around 500,000 in summer, we, together with 50 women friends of the same opinion, believing that citizens are also responsible for this inevitable situation, decided to take a step. Getting the approval and support of our Mayor Asaf Güven, we started to work for a clean Arsuz. We placed some warning and deterring signs in crowded places. We picked up trash sometimes for awareness and sometimes just to clean. Visiting the neighboring municipalities, we shared the problems, established a nice communication network. Together with our Arsuz Municipality, we are still continuing our activities for a cleaner Arsuz."
