Compliance with ethical standard

:

: The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest.

: Ethics is central to research involving people. During the fieldwork, the authors went to a great length to be people friendly. They realized that gaining participants’ trust was the most important part for a successful fieldwork. The familiarization visits and observations helped to establish the authors’ presence, and win and retain people’s confidence throughout the duration of their fieldwork. According to Cohen et al. (2000), informed consent is the bedrock of ethical procedure. Accordingly, consent was sought form the participants. During the fieldwork, the authors assured the participants that their interviews would be used strictly for academic purposes and explained to them that they would not reveal anything about what they said to anybody they know who may have an interest to know what they said. The research participants offer their knowledge and share their experiences in a way that might bring positive changes. Confidentiality was maintained in reporting information.
