Every day, thousands of merchants living in the surrounding hills and mountains of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, wake up before sunrise and head to a huge "Iron Market" (the building is made of iron) in downtown Port-au-Prince to return and sell their produce. 
This type of enterprise is mostly done by women. 
When it comes to bearing the weight of Haitian labor, the women stand shoulder to shoulder with the men.
