Never heard before/ Valentina Habibaj, the first woman captain of a ship in Vlora

And because today's date marks March 8 International Women's Day, for Valentina Habibajn it is considered an ordinary working day.

The ship's captain began work with the overall control of the vessel, started the engine and raised the anchor.

In love with the sea, the 52-year-old has been doing this job for years.

Calm or rough sea is not a problem for Valentina. She tells that when she took the helm of the ship for the first time, she broke the taboos in this type of profession, becoming the first female ship captain in the coastal city.

Kapitenia has two children who follow their mother's passion. Women should believe in their strength, love what they do and they will definitely succeed, is the message of Valentina, the captain from Vlonia, to all women and girls on March 8.
